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

When we were 7, my twin brother Gabe was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a brain tumor on his brainstem.  He went through surgery, extensive rehab therapy, radiation and chemotherapy.  A year after he finished treatment, he relapsed and had to do it all over again.  He has been through more in his life than most people will ever have to go through.  He is a warrior, the strongest person I know.

This will be my 6th year shaving for kids like my brother who are diagnosed with cancer.  In this time, I have raised $44,258 dollars.  My goal this year is to reach a total of at least $50,000 going to pediatric cancer research.  Please help me to reach my goal!

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!
