For most of us, we lead normal, happy, healthy lives. Our biggest worries as children were:
Am I going to make it back home before the streetlights came on?
Are the other kids in school going to like me?
I hope I get that new bike for Christmas!
You get the picture. Now we are adults and have a whole new set of worries!
There are children out there that wish their worries were so simple. Children that have been diagnosed with childhood cancer. Their worries include:
How long will I be able to keep my hair?
Will the pain be bearable enough to get out of bed today?
Will I survive until Christmas?
Sounds horrible doesn't it? Yet, there is something we can do to give them a chance at living a normal life and growing older with the rest of the children their age. St Baldrick's Foundation, a volunteer based charity, raises crucial funds for research in the vast field of childhood cancer. I volunteer every year to have my head shaved to raise money for this most worthy cause. If at all possible, please donate on my behalf to give these children a little hope. A little better chance at survival. Give a little. Give a lot. You could be giving the gift of life! Come out and show your support at the event! It takes place at Amalfi's.
