Hey EVERYONE! While I realize that I have probably been blocked from 3/4 of my Facebook friend's news feeds, I want to ask for all of your help for two REALLY special events that I am participating in. I have decided to launch my own team and would encourage all of you to donate, join my team, or just show up for the events to support Conquer Kid's Cancer! Throughout my 10 years in law enforcement I have worked for two GREAT police departments (Hoffman Estates and Elgin). And during that time, too many of my brothers and sisters in blue have had children that have been diagnosed with one type of cancer or another. As many of you know, my son, Korbin, was diagnosed 5 years ago with Juvenile Diabetes. Since then, being the parent of a special needs child has REALLY hit me hard. I support numerous diabetes research foundations and fundraisers, and this year I’m getting my own St. Baldrick's team together - Blue Balds. Would you expect less? This Thursday, April 11th, 2013 anytime between 11a.m. and 10p.m., I would like you to support The Pablove Foundation at Nick's Pizza & Pub (990 S. Randall Rd., Elgin). See Keira's story on my Facebook page or visit www.stayclassy.org/teamv to donate. On Saturday, May 11th, I will be "letting go of my fro" that I have been growing since March 1st and shaving my head down to the scalp! Later that afternoon, there will be a HUGE family event at America's Bar & Grill (2308 W. Higgins Rd., Hoffman Estates) that includes face painting, an inflatable bouncer, and a special acoustic set by 7th Heaven. This even starts at 2p.m. Please show your support at one or both of these events. I look forward to seeing you all there!!! I just signed up to raise money for St. Baldrick's. Please check out my webpage! http://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/mypage/645375/2013 to donate.
