I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Hair today, Gone tamale!

I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Hair today, Gone tamale!

This will mark my 18th year of shaving my head for this amazing organization. In 2016 I was awarded the title of Knight Commander for my many years of service to this organization. As I continue this year as a "Crusader for a Cure", I have once again been asked to take on the prestigious roll of Volunteer Event Coordinator! Not only am I shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research, I'm returning to take a shot at running the whole event!


I have personally witnessed the toll cancer takes on a family. As you may remember from years past, my nephew was cured of his leukemia by a great team of providers and the love of his family. Cancer had affected my sister-in-law and mother-in-law. Three years ago, cancer took one of my dear adult friends who was an amazing lifesaver as a nurse.


This year I will sponsor yet another child suffering from cancer. One of my "other sons" took his sick 2-year old son to the ER in June of 2022 and had the alarming diagnosis of leukemia. He is now three years old and has had an amazing recovery. To think that he had to endure treatments that most adults would dread is unthinkable. His treatment was experimental, as is for most children with cancer. 


Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. So I decided to do something about it by raising money for cures. Now I need your help! Will you make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers.


At our event, some folks will shave their heads – and others like me will keep the hair we have and put our hearts into supporting childhood cancer research.

Research is hope for kids with cancer, but donations to find cures have been down since 2020.

Your gift will give kids hope by supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants.

Cancer kills more of our kids than any other disease. I don’t want to let these kids down. Can you help? Thank you!
