Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?

A challenge among friends 25 years ago has become the largest volunteer movement to Conquer Kids’ Cancer. This year, I’m joining thousands of others to shave my head to raise money for childhood cancer research!

Did you know, 1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. won’t survive? For those who do, more than 96% have severe or life-threatening conditions by the time they are 50.

Each shaved head, every dollar donated, creates a ripple effect of progress for kids with cancer.

Your gift will give kids and their families hope, supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.

This is a cause that means a lot to me specifically as I have known many friends and family who have fallen victim to childhood cancer. The burden that is places on that child, their friends, and their family is unmatched. Together, we have a small (but so important!) opportunity to make a dent in this field, and start the path to a future free of these terrors.

On March 14th, I will be shaving every inch of my red hair off. Consider donating to support a better future (and to see me bald).
