Hi everybody visiting my site! For about 28 years, I was a pretty lucky guy and had very little reason to give much thought to cancer. I wore the little yellow wristband for a year or so, but cancer was a relatively foreign thought in my life and was something that affected so many others, but not me. Well in the past year, things have changed. I've seen three people within a degree or two from myself diagnosed and afflicted with various types of this monster. Most recently, my boss' daughter Scarlett McGraw was diagnosed with Leukemia. She was 2 years old. Sean and his wife Dyan were amazing with their updates on Scarlett and her battle, and I was able to watch through their words and experiences how much this disease tore her body apart. It was gut wrenching READING about the experience, it made the idea of actually LIVING through that battle incomprehensible. Good news: Scarlett kicked cancer's butt and is currently done with chemo and doing great! Bad news: I'm 29, cancer's still very real, and the fact is, until we get rid of this thing the liklihood of cancer affecting me, you, or someone we love in my lifetime remains very, very real. So why are you reading this? Well to do my very, very small part to try and fight cancer so neither of us have to deal with what so many others have, I'm shaving my head. Why? Because Sean asked me. He's doing it too. And a bunch of other people that want to raise as much money as possible to take a stand against cancer. Some of them barely have any hair, but they're doing a great thing by taking what's left, even with no promise that it's coming back. Some, like myself, draw our strength and inspriration from their mane, and will look as sad as a freshly sheared sheep (alliteration points). Those who know me know that I'm a solid 9 out of 10 with my flowing locks. There is a very real possibility that shaving my head takes me to a 8.5 out of 10. Maybe even an 8. I'm willing. That's how serious this is. So please, jokes aside, if you've ever been afflicted by cancer, know anyone who has, or honestly just want to make sure nobody you know ever is, I ask you to please spare what you can and support our cause. No joke...every dollar counts. I'll shave, you donate, we're in this together. Thanks! Click "Make a donation" to give online, or donate by phone or mail.
