I've answered the call to be a hero! I've had my head shaved to stand in solidarity with kids fighting cancer, but more importantly, to raise money to find cures.

But I'm no hero. To me, being a hero means you are, on a daily basis, showing selfless acts of courage. Our firefighters, law enforcement, and United States Military Personnel and Veterans; who put their lives on the line every day to serve, protect, save lives, and give us our freedom are heros. I just shaved my head. And it wasn't a selfless act of courage. In some respects, it was very personal.

Over the years, I've lost family members to various cancers. There is cancer in both my wifes side of our family, and mine. And to my knowledge, none of them were, or are children, and I thank the Lord for that.

But our family did lose a most precious part of us. Our Amanda, our Punkin', passed away on January 6, 1994. She was only 4 years old when, after nearly a year of enduring so much, her little body just couldn't endure anymore, but she wasn't diagnosed with cancer. To this day, we still wonder what caused her illness or what her illness really was. We've never gotten any real answers. What caused our angel so much pain?!

No child should have to go through what she did! And no child should have to go through what these children of cancer are going through either.

These children need our help!

I'm no hero. And I'm not asking you to be one either. I'm just asking you to help...

...With a donation to the St. Baldrick's Foundation.

This volunteer-driven charity funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government.

Your gift will give hope to infants, children, teens and young adults fighting childhood cancers. So when I ask for your support, I'm really asking you to support these kids. Thank you!
