I am going to have my head shaved again this year for charity and Alex will be joining me!! He said "I want the kids who have cancer and don't have any hair to not feel ashamed and I want to help them fit in better". We have spent a lot of time at Dell Children's and the doctors offices next door and we see some of the kids with child hood diseases and Alex and I are both moved to help in some way. Alex is going to give a presentation at school and see if he can get some of his class mates to donate any change or extra money they have. I am asking ,if anyone can, please donate, any amount will help in the fight to find a cure for cancer. If I have my facts straight, St. Baldrick's is the second leading contributor to finding a cure for pediatric cancer (the number one contributor is the US govt.). I'm going to use a part of an e-mail I sent last year because I think it really worked for this occasion. When I was deployed to New York on 9/11 my team and I arrived at ground zero and I looked in awe of what was in front of me and could barely take it all in. When I went into my first hole I didn't know what was at the bottom, where it went or what would happen to me. I probably wouldn't admit it at the time but I was scared to death, I said a little prayer, tried to be courageous and went to work. I searched a lot of voids over several days and all I could think of is that I want to save or help just one person. My team never found a live person, we didn't save anyone but, I believe we did help several people, mainly the NYC firefighters who had lost so many, I think we helped by being there to support them, we did find a substantial piece of the plane, that was exciting, but still not a person. So I am saying the same thing again, I want to just save 1 person but I want to help thousands by being there for them and showing my support for them and for what they are going through.These families are being courageous although they don't know what lies ahead for them but they are still moving forward. courage is the ability to get yourself to take action in spite of fear...... For the price of a lunch you can make a difference, Alex and I will get shaved on March 20, if you have time and would like to, come out and see us.
