Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?
I'm fighting in honor of my sweet cousin, Kylee, who inspired Kylee’s Wish...
“When Kylee was seven years old she watched as her Dad and his friends shaved their heads to help children like her who were battling childhood cancer. After she watched them all shave, Kylee declared that she would be shaving at the St. Baldrick’s event the following year. But sadly, Kylee passed away before she could. On August 26th 2008 Kylee lost her battle. But we continue to fight in her honor. Kylee never wanted another child to have to go through what she went through.”
Whether you shave, you donate, you volunteer, you share our message, you’re helping get our world one step closer to Kylee’s Wish.
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!
