Can you think of anything more important than saving the life of a child?

For the 21st consecutive year I’m raising funds with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation to support research that finds cures and safer treatments for all childhood cancers, providing hope for children and families facing this fight. In addition to shaving my head each year, I've been leading a group of bicyclists on challenging long-distance rides since 2018 in a ride known as "Make to point to end Childhood cancer".

Why? Because cancer is the #1 disease killer of kids like my own daughter Jennifer. We lost Jen despite 6 years of treatment  because cancer is relentless and not all treatment protocols have good outcomes.

This is why I’m teaming up with St. Baldrick’s; to advance the science and find more effective treatments for kids having to fight this disease.  – St Baldrick's is the #1 charity funder of childhood cancer research grants and our best hope for improvements in treatment options

Your donation can help ensure that this research can continue bringing hope, progress, and cures. Together, we speed up the progress of saving the lives of these brave children.

Thank you for your donation!
