Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?

At the age of two our youngest daughter Nicole was diagnosed with a brain tumor..  She courageously fought through multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, & radiation treatment but lost her battle one year later.  We have participated in various charity events over the last three decades but thought it was time to get more serious.  Please help me with your financial contribution to support these critical research activities and don't be scared to talk to parents of Children with cancer.  While we can confirm the devastating side this disease we can also tell you about the resilience of children and incredible people we meet during our journey.

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!
