I'm an 8th grader and have shaved my head to raise money and awareness about childhood cancer since I was in kindergarten.  This year this important cause took on even more meaning for me.  In the fall Trey, a graduate from my school and the son of my eighth grade language arts teacher, was diagnosed with Stage II Burkitt's lymphoma. Burkitt's lymphoma is a fast-growing cancer of the lymphatic system (where your immune system does its work). Trey has been battling this cancer for three months, and HE IS WINNING!! Trey was right when he said he was going to "Kick Cancer's A$$ (KCA)"!

Imagine how hard these past months have been for this family and especially for Trey. Imagine how hard Trey has had to work to battle this cancer. He has missed school, faced horrible fears and pains, and lost his hair. Let's show Trey that he isn't alone. 

I'm shaving my head in honor of Trey and for his courage and strength.   I want every child and family facing a battle against cancer to know that they are not alone.  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.

Together, we can "Kick Cancer's A$$" for Trey and each and every child and family who have to face this fight.
