I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Stewart Society

I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Stewart Society

Why I'm shaving my head with St. Baldrick's (Übersetzung unten):

1. I am raising money for childhood cancer research because it is incredibly underfunded and devastating to families (for more information see the links below). I would greatly appreciate any and all donations - even if it's just $5.

2. I am donating all of my hair to making wigs for children who are losing hair due to chemo. They deserve it more than I do. In addition, going bald serves as a symbol of solidarity in standing with children who are losing their hair.

3. St. Baldrick's holds a special place in my heart. While I was an undergraduate my younger brother had cancer. Through St. Baldrick's at UVA, I was shown support and compassion by friends and strangers who donated their hair and money to this cause.

4. Unrelated to cancer research, I want to challenge gender stereotypes. Who says I need long hair to be a woman?

Thank you for taking the time to read this, for your support, and your donations.

Warum ich meine Haare abrasiere:

1. Ich sammele Geld für Kinderkrebsforschung. 100% eurer Spenden werden durch die St. Baldrick's Organisation an Forschungsprojekte weitergeleitet. Ich würde mich riesig über jede Spende freuen, selbst wenn es nur €5 sind.

2. Meine Haare werden für eine Perücke verwendet, die an Kinder, die ihre Haare durch Chemo verlieren, gehen wird. Des Weiteren wird meine Glatze als Symbol der Solidarität zu diesen Kindern gelten.

3. Diese Organisation hat besondere Bedeutung für mich. Als mein kleiner Bruder während meines Bachelorstudiums an Krebs erkrankte, habe ich durch diese Organisation und durch Freunde, die damals Geld und Haare gespendet haben, Unterstützung und Mitempfinden gefunden.

4. Unabhängig von Kinderkrebsforschung möchte ich Geschlechterstereotypen in Frage stellen. Wer sagt denn, dass ich lange Haare brauche, um Frau zu sein?

Herzlichen Dank für eure Zeit, Unterstützung und Spenden.
