Why am I cutting my hair, and why should you care?


Written by Me:

When in April of 2011 I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at age 5 and was never the same since. I have gone through many adversities, but have met amazing people along the way. Many of which I have met because of our experiences with cancer. And while I have survived, many people I love have become angels. 


The fight against cancer needs to end with our victory and it starts with small steps that evolve into big leaps. Join me in this fight and help me reach my goal to donate to this amazing organization whose main mission is to change lives and build armies of support. 


Thank you for your support and your kindness!!

It is spreading love that makes the biggest storm.





Written by St Baldricks:

A challenge among friends 25 years ago has become the largest volunteer movement to Conquer Kids’ Cancer. This year, I’m joining thousands of others to shave my head to raise money for childhood cancer research!

Did you know, 1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. won’t survive? For those who do, more than 96% have severe or life-threatening conditions by the time they are 50.

Each shaved head, every dollar donated, creates a ripple effect of progress for kids with cancer.

Your gift will give kids and their families hope, supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.

Together, let’s give these kids the lifetime they deserve. Thank you for your support!
