I am shaving to raise money for childhood cancer research

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

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!


The first and second time I did this over a decade ago was as a dedication to the two children of two close friends, each of whom had cancer at a young age. This time around, I am dedicating my shave to every child who has to battle this disease and to the families who love and hold them through it. 


St. Baldrick's partners with organizations in the event country to ensure that the funds go to local cancer research. The money raised by the donations on this page will go to cancer research in Hong Kong.


Each shaved head, every dollar donated, creates a ripple effect of progress for children with cancer.

Your gift will give chidren and their families hope. 

Thank you for your support!
