Holy Crap! I’ve decided to join Team Tuesday this year, it’s 4th year, in the head-shaving event for St. Baldrick’s! My friend Laurie and I are doing it alongside our sons, our family and our friends who have “braved the shave” for four years now. Frankly, I am a little scared. Casually. Not in a mortal sense, but in a vain sense. On one hand, what the hell am I thinking? On the other, it’s just hair, and hair comes back. But I’m not gonna lie, it gives me a pit in my stomach thinking about the stark swath of naked skin on my head. And oh-my-god, the grow-back! It is not lost on me that these worries are “non cancer problems”. I have the choice. I don’t have to do it. I don’t have to be sick while my hair falls out. Or have my body poisoned to make my hair fall out. So I should sit down and shut up.

I'm having my head shaved to stand in solidarity with kids fighting cancer, but more importantly, to raise money to find cures.

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. Thank you!
