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.
When I was little, my grandma and grandpa died from cancer. Because of that, my parents had a tough time dealing with the loss of them. After growing older and understanding the pain of losing someone because of cancer, I felt terrible for all the kids who didn't get to live an everyday life like us. Because of that, I decided to help fund the research for children's cancer and join St. Baldricks.
Together, let’s give these kids the lifetime they deserve. Thank you for your support!
