Can you think of anything more important than saving the life of a child?

At our event, some will shave their heads – and others like me will keep the hair we have and put our hearts into supporting research to find cures and safer treatments for all childhood cancers.

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 how much support from the community around them can help. I love seeing our hospital come together to raise money and awareness- and get excited to do something good- is truly an amazing thing. We are ALL affected by cancer in some way.


This is my 7th year planning and running this event and I appreciate your support year after year. Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers. Your donation can help ensure that the next 25 years bring hope, progress, and cures. Please consider making a donation, coming to our event, or shaving your head in honor of childhood cancer!
