Help me, Charles Jacobs (AKA Santa Charles), take care of the children.
I am shaving my head with St. Baldrick’s because your donation “on my head” will actually save lives. This is my 8th year that I will be shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research on March 16, 2025. I’ll be shaving my head with other St. Baldrick’s participants from around the country to #GiveKidsALifetime. Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. Due to the underfunding, they use a lot of adult treatments and even at a higher dosage for they say that the children have stronger bodies. So, I decided to do something about it by raising money for cures.
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. Now I need your help! Will you make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers. My goal this year is to raise $1500.00. Thank you all.
Each year has been special to raise money for childhood cancer but in December 2019 it hit home for my granddaughter, Philomena (Mia), now age 11, was diagnosed with cancer, Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), when she was still 5 years old. She has undergone chemo and radiation treatments and is now in remission for 4.5 years. She is a fighter and is now doing ballet, soccer and getting involved in other things a young girl should. I challenge all my friends and family to donate a dollar or two to help with this cause.
The following link will take you to the page where you can click on the DONATE button and choose your method of payment. You can help anytime during the year by clicking on the link below. Not for me but for Mia and all the other children that are in treatment now.
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 for your help and support.
