Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?
I do this because my niece was diagnosed December 22nd when she was only 3 years old and is thankfully a happy and healthy cancer free 24 year old who is currently an RN at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. She is the reason I continue to do this along with the many other children being diagnosed and treated. I am honored and humbled to be able to participate in these events year after year.
Did you know, 1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. won’t survive? For those who do, more than 96% have severe or life-threatening conditions by the time they are 50.
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 gift will give kids and their families hope, supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
Together, let’s give these kids the lifetime they deserve. Thank you for your support!
