7 years ago I set out on an epic journey. I wasn't sure what this journey would entail or how it would impact my life, but it has proven to be my single greatest accomplishment. 7 years ago I promised someone I lost that I would go bald every year in honor of her. I was pissed off for cancer taking her! I needed to do something, so I did. I grew my hair as long as I could that first year then I shaved it all off. I can honestly say it was a turning point in my life. The most liberating experience I have ever felt. Every year my passion grew and grew and what started off as a simple head shaving has somehow twisted into this life altering existence. It opened my eyes up to a variety of causes it also opened my eyes up to myself and the life that I was living. Her death somehow gave me the courage to take back my life. I am forever grateful for knowing you Meg, for playing some small role in your life, you have and are playing a huge role in mine still. I'm sorry I wasn't there in the end but I vow to never forget and to always fight. Thank you for giving me my life back and thank you for all the wonderful memories I have with you.
I'm shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research! Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. So I decided to do something about it by raising money for cures.
Now I need your help! Will you make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers.
