In 7th grade I told Patrick McNamara that one day I would shave my head in honor of him. In 8th grade he passed away and for a while I kept putting it off. Today is the day I’m telling all of you that I'm shaving my head with St. Baldrick's to raise money and help conquer kids' cancers! Every 2 minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer worldwide, and 1 in 5 of those in the U. S. will not survive. I refuse to accept this reality, so I’ve decided to fundraise for lifesaving research to find cures and better treatments for kids. Now I need your support! Whether you personally know me or not, please share this page and spread the word. My fundraising goal is high but I believe we can do this. Patrick Thomas McNamara will forever be my inspiration and I will never stop fighting to find cures for kids just like him. Your donation can fund research to help kids survive and thrive. Join me today and let's #DFYchildhoodCancers together.
