I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Team Paul

Shaved my head to support children with cancer! Help me raise money.


As you may know, my father passed away from osteosarcomas (jaw cancer). His passing led to some very rough times in my high school and college years. Despite all of his flaws, my father was a great man. I learned many lessons from him that I will always carry in my heart. The memories that I had with him were some of the greatest memories in my life. I truly miss him and would give anything to speak to him just another time. Shortly after my father's passing, my grandfather also was diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately, his cancer was too advance and surgery was not an option. Two months after my father's death, my grandfather passed away. Although I did not spend much time with him, it still hurt deep down. Reliving the same emotions all over again, just a two months later was also difficult to cope with. With that said, I would hate for anyone to have go through the challenges my family and I went through. The battles to fight cancer were by far the most difficult thing that my family endured, not to mention their passing. I hope you all support all the children that have to deal with cancer by donating. Your donation will make a difference. I love you all and I hope you have a kind enough heart to donate to such an amazing cause. It feels amazing to have shaved my head in solidarity with those who have suffered and are suffering with cancer.

Please support all these innocent children 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. Thank you!
