I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Zurich

Im shaving my head, again. Once again I am shaving my head for the St. Baldrick's Foundation event to raise funds for childhood cancer research. St. Baldricks research grants help fill crucial funding gaps at medical institutions where children are treated for cancer, ensuring the finest care for every child. The St. Baldricks Foundation events have occurred in over 18 countries and has raised over $50million in its first five years. Three out of 200 of my graduating highschool class came down with cancer before graduating from college. Two survived, but one had inoperable brain cancer. St. Baldrick's allows research that will assist in reducing the occurrence of cancer, and improve methods of treatment. While battling cancer, children lose not only their hair but years of their childhood, and sometimes their lives. In comparison to their struggle, shaving my head is a small sacrifice, and the money raised will make a difference for children with cancer now and in the future. So, I am asking you to help me raise as much money as I can for the foundation " both to justify this crazy decision, and to fund as much research as possible! No amount is too big or too small " every gift will be appreciated. I hope you will join me at John Barleycorn's on March 9th to watch or volunteer as I help Shave the Way to Conquer Kids Cancer! (My hair does grow back quickly, but I will keep my goatee clean-shaven for the upcoming modeling conferences so everyone can get a good look.)
