Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?
I have not had a haircut since October 2022, and when thinking of when to say goodbye to my locks, I thought of no better way than to support childhood cancer. A good friend, Alex, was a strong proponent of St. Baldrick's back in high school, and I hope to join in the altruistic service he exemplified to me and the community.
I hope to raise funds to support those fighting cancer currently, those who have fought in the past, and those who will fight in the future. I hope to honor Trisha Tsukamoto, a bright and beautiful childhood friend that gave so much to the world during her short time and could have given so much more.
Please join me in supporting this fight.

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!
