Hello everyone!

You heard it right - I'm shaving my head for the 11th time in solidarity with children who have cancer and typically lose their hair during treatment, while raising critical funds for childhood cancer research! Also this year I have accepted the position as treasure for this incredible event.

I've decided to participate again in the St. Baldrick's fundraiser to honor one of my best friend's daughters, Macy.

In March 2008, Macy was diagnosed with Stage 4 Clear Cell Sarcoma of the Kidney. She completed aggressive chemo and radiation therapy. At the end of treatment, the CCSK had spread to her brain. She went through surgery and additional therapy and spent the summer of 2009 cancer-free. In September 2009, it was discovered she developed AML (Leukemia), requiring additional chemo and a stem cell transplant. Then during the stem cell transplant, another CCSK was found on her spine and removed. Unfortunately on August 6, 2010, at the age of three Macy became an Angel.

You can read Macy's story at: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/macybellaganz.

I have watched what my friend’s family and their daughter had gone through, and this is the least I can do to hopefully find a cure for this disease.

The fundraiser is March 8, 2020. If you can spare a few minutes, please follow the link below to my St. Baldrick's fundraising page and donate whatever you can spare. If you don't get this email until after the event, it's still OK to donate afterward. Any donation is greatly appreciated.

Please email this to anyone who can help this great cause.

Thank you!!!!

In the US, more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease. Please make a donation on my behalf to support childhood cancer research, so that all children diagnosed with cancer will have a better chance for a cure.
