The WHY!
Christopher and Rachael have 2 Aunts fighting hard to beat their Cancers right now. Christopher and Rachael ask about how they are doing all the time. One day Christopher asked me if kids get cancer too. I told him yes they do and they must fight very hard to get better and some go to heaven because their little bodies couldn't fight the cancer anymore. Christopher became very sad and asked if there was anything he could do about it. I told him yes he could raise money to held find a cure by getting his head shaved and he said yes. Rachael wanted to do somethign too so she is Volunteering the day of the event. She has a very special role assigned to her. She will be in charge of the coloring table!
This is huge for Christopher as well. The only people he has allowed to cut his hair due to scenery issues are his Great Aunt Linda (she's a barber) and myself (he fights me). For him to allow a stranger to shave his head is awesome. He really wants to find a cure!
Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. So we decided to do something about it by raising money for cures.
Now we 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.
