NEU*PDX Community, it's our chance to come together for a great cause! Shave your head, raise awareness, appreciate how good we have it and raise some money for a great cause! Brandon McNeil, NEU*PDX Director's nephew Emilio Duarte was diagnosed with Leukemia a battle he ultimately lost in March 2008. Since 2007, we began participating in this great event and raising money for children's cancer research. It is a fantastic event and really makes a difference in people's lives. Let's get behind this great cause! 1,2,NEU! Did you know that 300,000 kids are diagnosed with cancer each year? And in the U. S., one in five will not survive. I want to change that, so I'm raising money to find cures. Please support me 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 I ask for your support, I'm really asking you to support these kids.
