I am so excited and honored to be participating in Oak City Goes Bald AGAIN this year! Since my hair is much shorter this year, it won't be quite as dramatic of a change for me, but we can help be part of a (positive) dramatic change in the future for the kids diagnosed with cancer.
Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?
As I said leading up to, and at last year's event just before my big shave, kids with cancer don't often have a choice about shaving their heads or losing their hair... but I do. I shave my head to show support to them, and in honor of everyone I know who has been impacted by cancer.
About St. Baldrick's:
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!
