I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Gang Clean

Have you ever been affected by something profoundly? Have you ever just had a switch get thrown inside your head? I have. Today. I have been reading about some of the children in the St. Baldrick's system. Some of these kids that truly have suffered. The families that have suffered. There is a boy named Tanner, and he lives in Levittown. He has a currently uncurable cancer. He is why we shave. He is why we raise money. He is why we need to do this. Could you imagine if the money we raise helps find a cure to Tanner's cancer? Tanner should be our inspiration. I know that he is MY inspiration. Let's keep our eye on the ball, and see what we can do for ALL the children that need us. Thank you Tanner. You have affected me. You are something special.
