I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research

Your donations can help save lives! 


Kids with cancer need our support now more than ever. St. Baldrick’s is the largest non-government funder of childhood cancer research grants, and the pandemic has slashed donations, slowing down the progress to find cures.


Cancer kills more of our kids than any other disease. Research can change that, and I don’t want to let these kids down. I shave my head and beard each year to raise money and simulate the look of so many while undergoing chemo and radiation therapy. 


 This year will represent my 15th year of participation in St. Baldrick’s, ever since my father died of cancer in January 2009. Cancer has touched so many of us in some way, but through organizations like St. Baldrick’s, we can fight back. 


Please help me help these kids! Thank you so much!
