Dominic was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma two days before he was to start kindergarten in 2008. He died just a few days after he finished second grade in 2011. Dom achieved many things and made many friends in his three years of school; most notably he was voted Math Wizard in first and second grades. Dominic learned to play chess and even taught myself. He was a very good teacher and maybe a future math professor!
Dom loved to play video and board games; he loved to be the banker during Monopoly on family game night, maybe a future finance major!
Dom was always building with Legos, his “collection” he called it. You see, he built his own Lego town and his buildings were special. Maybe a future architect!
Dominic was our son who touched our lives briefly, but left us with a lifetime of dreams to hold on to.

We have answered the call to be heroes! We've teamed up to have our heads shaved – to stand in solidarity with kids fighting cancer, but more importantly, to raise money to find cures.
Please support us with a donation to the St. Baldrick's Foundation. This volunteer-driven charity funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government.
Your gift will give hope to infants, children, teens and young adults fighting childhood cancers. So when we ask for your support, we're really asking you to support these kids. Thank you!
