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

I am shaving my head because this is something that I truly care about and has hit my own family.  My daughter was diagnosed with WILMs tumor stage 3 cancer.  After two separate rounds of treatment she is currently in remission.  Her treatment was tough on her body and the medicines used are over 20 years old.  Research into newer safer treatments can make a lasting difference to children in the future.

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!
