On March 15th I'm shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research! Lest anyone think I'm a saint, this all started out just a few weeks ago with me playing with the idea of shaving my head just for the heck of it. A friend told me that they knew someone who had shaved their head for St. Baldrick's. I went online and started reading. I knew that I wanted to do it right away. Now the thought of cutting all my hair off for no reason seems crazy, and the closer I get to my shave date the more nervous I am to say goodbye to all my hair, but I am so committed to this cause that it doesn't matter.

What if it was my child who had cancer? What if my sister was going to lose all her hair in chemo treatments? You better believe I'd stand in solidarity with a loved one, and I would be so grateful to strangers who would be willing to reach out and bless us. I know that children and families go through a lot, and I've learned a lot about how particularly horrible cancer is in the life of a child, so I am very happy to be able to help in any way I can. To think that my head of hair could be worth hundreds of dollars of research is pretty crazy! Research to find gentler therapies, less toxic treatments, and even a cure. Please give whatever you can afford!
