My brother is cancer free, but others are not, yet!
This year, while my brother and dad are raising money and shaving their heads in solidarity and support, my mom and I are raising money and donating our ponytails to Locks of Love!
At Locks of Love, recipients are financially disadvantaged children, age 21 and under, suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis, including cancer. The children who receive these hairpieces have lost more than their hair; they suffer from a loss of self. While wearing a hairpiece is certainly not a cure for these children, it can help restore some sense of normalcy to their everyday lives that most of us take for granted. It is our goal to help provide a foundation on which they can begin to rebuild their self-esteem and self-confidence.
At St. Baldrick's, research is hope for kids with cancer, but donations to find cures have been down since 2020. Your gift will give kids hope by supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charitable funder of childhood cancer research grants.
Can you help us meet our fundraising goal?
