I first heard of St. Baldricks in 2012. My husband and a few of our friends were shavee's. I thought it was a such a fun and creative event and way to raise money. It was 2 months after our first child was born and the thought of my baby ever having to go through what these kids do, broke my heart. For the last few years I have wanted to participate but have never been quite brave enough. I said I would in 2016, and I am keeping that promise! I am excited and scared all at the same time but I know my hair will grow back. What I go through will pale in comparison to what these children and families go through and be 100% worth it for me. When I shave my head on March 13th, my children will be 4 and 1 month shy of 3. They will not understand and probably think mommy looks silly for a little while. But when they are old enough to understand what and why I am doing this I hope they thought I was brave, are proud and inspired. I hope I also inspire some of you along the way. Now I know my goal is set high, but why not??? I believe we can make it!

 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. You can also come support me at the even March 13th along with all the other amazing people braving the shave!!
