Friends, family, loved ones...

Allow me to let you in on a little secret: I'm actually not a fan of being bald. There, I said it. It's just...not a good look for me personally, even as "generous" as I tend to be with my hair. ;) But do you know what I hate much *worse* than being bald? The absolute monster that is childhood cancer. Sweet, young lives being snuffed out before they have the chance to even begin *living*.

For those of you who don't know me personally, I'm a fire wife (DGFD) & a mom of five amazing children, one of whom is a Shaken Baby Syndrome Survivor. Due to her medically fragile condition, we tend to be "frequent flyers" at our local children's hospital and we've seen these unspeakably brave fighters firsthand, enduring things no child should *ever* have to endure.

That being said, I'm shaving my head for the second consecutive year 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 (only 4% of federal government cancer research funding goes to children--FOUR PERCENT). So I decided to try to help this year by raising money for St. Baldrick's. Again. :)

Now I need your help! Will you please make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers. My goal is $2,500.00 this year. I know it's a lofty goal, but I also know all of you & the beautiful hearts you have. Please consider donating, and please spread the word? This will be my second and *last* year as a shavee for quite some time, so please help me go out with a bang. :)

With my love & gratitude to all,

Courtney <3
