How quickly time goes by…not only is it time for St. Baldrick’s once again; also, this will be my 5th year of shaving my head in solidarity with kids fighting cancer. This past year has been a very trying and emotional year. Early in 2011, I was diagnosed with a chronic disease. While a very treatable and manageable disease, a chronic one nonetheless. It has forced me to learn my limitations and call on people in my life for ongoing support. And during this year, almost every day, I thought about St. Baldrick’s and all the kids who fight for their lives on a daily basis. These kids have to rely on an incredible amount of courage; the kind of courage that I can only hope to attain for myself while on my own path. I have so much to learn from all the kids I meet each year through St. Baldrick’s. With your help, these kids can continue to teach all of us the meaning of courage; the meaning of hope; the meaning of life. Please support me with a donation to the St. Baldrick's Foundation. 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. And if you can, please join me for the big event at Fado Irish Pub in Denver on March 16th, 2012. As always, thank you.
