I'm shaving my head with St. Baldrick's to raise money and help conquer kids' cancers! Every 2 minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer worldwide, and 1 in 5 of those in the U.S. will not survive. I refuse to accept this reality, so I’ve decided to fundraise for lifesaving research to find cures and better treatments for kids.

My Goal is to represent all the kids in my community that are currently fighting, the ones that survived the fight and honor the ones that lost their lives on the ultimate fight against this monster.

I will shave this time around, because hair is so important to all of us, it represent the visual part of what we like others to see about us. Hair grows, it falls, it changes and we spend hundreds of dollars caring for our hair.

When we or someone we love is diagnosed with Cancer, often times, the first question is, when I am going to lose my hair?.. oh! The fear! The horror! We feel the hair will fall off taking with it what we are, how we are. Soon after surgery and treatment starts to save what really matters....OUR LIFE, we will feel very sick and our hearts, minds and bodies will undergo a big transformation. We will learn what our cancer means, how it works and what are the odds for us before the hair even begins to fall off.

Let me tell you something!!! We lose the outside fears very quickly when we learn what are we up against, when we get to really face CANCER eye to eye, Only at that moment the least of our worries will be when we will to lose our hair.

Our kids wear their bald heads as magic-warrior helmets. They are in pain; they suffer terrible and untold tortures with a smile on their faces.

Bald heads are beautiful and I will brave the shave and go bald once again to show the world our kids need their community to gather behind them, to show the world we are much more than our hair, to show the world a little bit of appreciation because my kid is alive today because hundreds of families that had to deal with cancer before us did not give up! They fought, congregated, they marched, they got organized and most importantly they donated to fund research to find a solution and to ultimately find a cure.

We can't stop now, hundreds of families are going home today with no answers, hundreds of families will have to say goodbye forever to their children this week.

Please consider donating. Every dollar counts!!!!

Now I need your support! Your donation can fund research to help kids survive and thrive. Join me today and let’s #DFYchildhoodCancers together.
