Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?
If you couldn't tell...I've been growing this hair out for a while now (4 years). It started as a lock-down necessity and morphed into a cheap and easy mid life crisis. On top of that I've finally gotten to contribute to the clogged drains and tangled vacuum cleaners I've been fixing for years ;) . Alas it is time for me to part with these luscious locks, and I can't think of a more ceremonious way than to shave it completely and to hopefully raise a bunch of money to support kids with cancer!
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!
On top of the shaving, I am planning to donate my hair to Wigs For Kids! Maybe the gray hairs will count as "highlights".
If you're in the Greenville, SC area on March 16th 2024 please come hang out downtown with me, the fam, some other shavees, and hopefully a good crowd!
