Thanks for taking a second to check out my campaign!! My goal is twofold: I want to support St. Baldricks in their efforts and I want to show kids with cancer that they're not alone in their treatments. First, why should you give your hard-earned money to St. Baldricks? Because they work on both ends of childhood cancer treatment, funding both research and collaboration between doctors, and also improving the quality of life for the patients and their families. Last year, 74 cents of every dollar went towards their programs in the forms of grants and gifts, which work to speed research currently happening, and ensure that will be pediatric-specific oncologists for years to come. For more details, follow some links out from http://www.stbaldricks.org/why-we-exist I am doing this for Aunt Kathy, who survived double breast cancer, leukemia, and a couple rounds of brain cancer before losing to a brain tumor, for Grandma Ida, who survived breast cancer, and for Mom, who had skin cancer on her lip. I am also doing this for the kids who don't know life without constant checkups, tests, and debilitating treatments. I pray that someday, through the efforts of St. Baldricks and others, that a cancer diagnosis will be on the order of a flu. If you're at this point and thinking, "Gee, I really want to donate to help stop kid's cancer, but I'd pay to have Daniel keep those luscious curls", don't worry, they'll grow back within a few months. I too will miss them, but so do the kids who lose their hair to the cancer treatments, and they don't have a choice. So I'll walk a mile in their shoes and show that being bald isn't weird or bad, it's just there. Please do donate, and if you send me your address, I'll send you a handwritten thank-you note, along with my deepest gratitude. Help me hit $550!!
