I am shaving to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Team Upstate

Why am I shaving my head with St. Baldrick’s? Because your donation “on my head” will actually save lives.


As manager of the Brain Tumor Biorepository Lab at Upstate, I am well aware of the need to fund clinical trials, especially for childhood cancers. I have seen and worked with pediatric brain tumors, and every time I get a new one, it breaks my heart. No one deserves to get cancer, but especially not children.


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 of finding 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. Together, let’s give these kids the lifetime they deserve. Thank you for your support!
