I've answered the call to be a hero! I know what it feels like to be born with a tumour and grow up with it. My parents know what it is to live with this challenge in parenting. I was born with a 'Cranial Naevus Flammeus', or 'Port Wine Stain'. This is most often only a skin inlamation - no big deal. It is not comonly considered to be a 'cancer'. In my case the tumour went below the skin and into the bone of my skull. As early as two years of age there was prssure building against my brain. At five years of age the amzing doctors of Children's hospital performaed an amzing surgery on me. They removed the tumour from around the eyeball orbit of my skull. The are was rebuilt with the top plate of my skull that every child has. Our family continues to give thanks to the doctors from The Children's Hospital in Seattle and The University of Washington Medical Center. I'm having my head shaved to stand in solidarity with kids fighting cancer, but more importantly, to raise money to conntinue to find cures. I'd like for it to be easier for them and their parents than it was for me and my parents. This is an opportunity for me to not only raise funds, but to show others how a kid can survive and prosper after having to deal with cancer. Please support me with a donation to the St. Baldrick's Foundation ? You can click on the 'Donate' green button on the left of the screen. This volunteer-driven charity funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U. S. government. Your gift will give hope to infants, children, teens and young adults fighting childhood cancers. So when I ask for your support, I'm really asking you to support these kids. After all - they are all kids a lot like I was. Thank you! Click "Make a donation" to give online, or donate by phone or mail.
