In January 2005, I lost my dad to cancer. That March, right before my 9th birthday, I participated in St. Baldrick's and I have been shaving my head ever since.
I would like to ask you to help me honor my dad and consider donating for my 19th year participating. Here are some ways your money helps:
- $50 provides two hours of a clinical trial, often a child’s best hope for a cure
- $100 covers a student to work in a pediatric oncology research lab for one week
- $250 allows for ten hours of research to improve patient and survivor quality of life- $1,000 helps pay for one child to be treated on a clinical trial, often their best hope for a cure
- Since 2005, St. Baldrick’s has funded more than $325 million in research grants across 31 countries to find cures for kids with cancer.
With fundraising revenues well below pre-pandemic levels, kids with cancer need our help now more than ever to maintain the research that is underway to find new treatments and cures which will save lives.
Since I started back in 2005, I have personally raised over $27,265. With your help, I can raise even more. Of course I don't expect everyone to donate as much as those amounts mentioned above, but if just 5 people donate $10, that's already one clinical trial for a child.
Please try and pass this on to other family and friends to help out this cause.
Thank you.
