I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research

I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research

Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?

Every 2 minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer worldwide, and 1 in 5 of those in the U. S. will not survive. I am committed to fundraise for lifesaving research to find cures and better treatments for kids as I prepare to shave my head for the 12th consecutive year in support of the St. Baldrick's Foundation to help conquer childhood cancer.

 

This is why I’m teaming up with St. Baldrick’s – the #1 charity funder of childhood cancer research grants – in their 25th year.  A challenge among friends 25 years ago has become the largest volunteer movement to Conquer Kids’ Cancer. This year, I’m joining thousands of others to shave my head to raise money for childhood cancer research! Each shaved head, every dollar donated, creates a ripple effect of progress for kids with cancer.


Your donation can help ensure that the next 25 years bring hope, progress, and cures. Together, we speed up the progress of saving the lives of these brave children and give them the lifetime they deserve. I hope you will join my team to bring some hope to those who need it the most. 


Thank you for your support in the fight to DFY childhood cancers!
