I'm shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research! Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. So I'm trying to raise some money for cures.

Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers. I'm looking for lots of small donations to reach my goal of $1000.  

Our team that spans different circles at Villanova University, The University of Miami, Emory University, William & Mary, Notre Dame, Fordham, Wesleyan, and Holy Cross is rallying around the story of Blaise Davis, who recently passed away after a battle with secondary-AML, an aggressive form of Leukemia, brought on from the chemo he received for his Ewing’s Sarcoma. Some of you may remember Blaise as the four year old boy Ryan Arcidiacono and Daniel Ochefu surprised in his playhouse after Villanova's 2016 National Basketball Championship. You can read more about Blaise and his story at the link below on a blog kept by Andrew Miller and Blaise’s mother, Ann Davis, throughout his journey.

With Blaise's Villanova Superfandom in mind, the team goal was set at $47,000, the significance of the 4.7 stemming from the 2016 National Championship after North Carolina's Marcus Paige hit an improbable, double pump 3 pointer to tie the game at 74 with 4.7 seconds left on the clock.

We need you to join us in the fight against this insidious disease. If you deem you cannot shave your head for whatever reason, find someone who will and center your fundraising efforts around them. Every bit helps and it only takes a little for efforts like these to take on a life of their own. If not with St. Baldrick's, effect change elsewhere. Live in the present. Accept what you cannot change and Change the things you can. Now, let's go out there and Blaise a Trail.
