It's been far too long since I last did this (6 years ago!) but I have wanted to come back and do it again ever since. The idea of kids having cancer breaks my heart every day. It's crazy to think back to jr high and my first crush was for a girl who had childhood cancer and I'd like to think programs like this help kids just like who she was. Kids should never have to go through such a thing and to lose such a major part of so many kids' identity, their hair, is just the worst, one horrible thing after another. My goal will be to save my hair to donate it, as I know how cold it can be to be bald from when I did this last time and just wanting to have hair to wear at all! Whether my hair goes to a child or adult with cancer, I know it will go to someone who needs it and will cherish it. Groups like St Baldrick's give me hope for these children and when we give them funding, the things they can achieve and the people they can save, well, that's just a wonderful thing. If I can be apart of it, well, it's an honor.
Why am I shaving my head with St. Baldrick’s? Because your donation “on my head” will actually save lives.
Kids with cancer need our support now more than ever. St. Baldrick’s is the largest non-government funder of childhood cancer research grants, and the pandemic has slashed donations, slowing down the progress to find cures.
Cancer kills more of our kids than any other disease. Research can change that, and I don’t want to let these kids down. Can you help? Thank you so much!
