Researchers

Money raised by St. Baldrick's volunteers is used to support only the best pediatric cancer researchers. They are chosen through a rigorous peer-review process and monitored every step of the way. Many of our researchers have shaved their heads as well, giving a double-dose of support for kids with cancer. Learn about our researchers and the work they're doing to fight kids’ cancer.
