Dear friends and family,

For the eleventh consecutive year, Christopher (18) and I are going to shave our heads for St. Baldrick's to raise money for childhood cancer research.

As many of you know, our community has been personally affected by pediatric cancer. Teddy Gerber, then a third grader at Christopher’s school, was diagnosed with an Undifferentiated Sarcoma in November 2009. Very sadly, Teddy passed away in August 2010 after a very long and brave fight. Since then, our neighbor, Grace Evanko, passed away after her own brave battle with an inoperable brain tumor. Teddy’s 19th birthday was two weeks ago, and Grace would have just turned 17.

"Team Teddy" was created as a way for us to join together and show support for Teddy and his family during a difficult time. The Gerber family has continued Team Teddy in his honor and to raise money on behalf of so many other brave kids fighting cancer now.

Since 2010 we have raised over 1.1 million dollars. Each year we pray that the money raised will help fund a research grant that finds the cure.

I hope you can make a donation. Please help Christopher and me raise at least our goal of $2,000 by March 20.

Thank you very much. On behalf of the Gerber, Evankos, and so many other families, we appreciate your support.

With love,

Jim and Christopher Muschett
