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

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

I attended the St. Baldrick's head-shaving event last Saturday expecting to help Kathleen with hanging up some posters and sorting out the sound system. I had been asked if I would become a "shavee", and I was certain that morning that I would not... maybe next year. As the event began, I listened to the tear-filled testimonies of local parents whose children ARE SURVIVING their battle with cancer. I watched the seats of shavees fill again and again with people of all ages, boys and girls as young as 3 years old, adult men and women up into their 60s, people like Kathleen's brother and nephew who have shaved their heads 10 years in a row (!!!) for this cause. I noticed the glistening eyes and growing smiles as friends and family embraced those who had volunteered to lose their hair in order to stand in solidarity with the kids whose young worlds have been changed forever due to this disease.... And my vision became very clear. I knew there was no other choice-- I had to take a seat and say goodbye to 4 YEARS of my beloved dreadlocks.

I was nervous as the stylists began clipping out my dreadlocks, one by one. The buzzer buzzed, and my hair fell to the ground. It felt like all eyes were on me, and I wondered if this is what children with cancer experience-- so many people watching them, curious, scared, wondering. How overwhelming. Now that I am "bald", I feel lighter, freer. But I realize this is not the case for children who lose their hair due to chemo and other treatments. My life has been so simple and I feel so blessed for my health. I know it is up to me to help where I can to improve the chances for these kids to survive.

Worldwide, a child is diagnosed with cancer every 3 minutes. This is completely unacceptable. If you agree with me, please take a moment to make a donation of any size to St. Baldrick's.

The St. Baldrick's Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity that 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!
