I helped to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Peds/PICU

The time has come again for our St Baldrick's event at Children's Hospital University Of Illinois! Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. So I decided to do something about it by raising money for cures.


As a medical professional, I get to work with these amazing kids and families every day. I see firsthand what it is like for a child and family to fight childhood cancer- and then it is my job to do everything I can to help them through that fight! That is the main reason why I love this event, and why I work hard year round with my team to plan this event and make sure we have a successful day. Seeing our hospital come together to raise money and awareness- and be excited to do something good- is a truly amazing thing.


Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers. My personal goal is to raise $500 for childhood cancer research, and our hospital goal is $22,000! Please consider making a donation, coming to our event, or shaving your head in honor of childhood cancer!


Let me know if you have any questions or further interest in being involved!
