I've answered the call to be a hero! I'm having my head shaved to stand in solidarity with kids fighting cancer, but more importantly, to raise money to find cures.

Please support me with a donation to the St. Baldrick's Foundation. This volunteer-driven charity funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government.

Your gift will give hope to infants, children, teens and young adults fighting childhood cancers. So when I ask for your support, I'm really asking you to support these kids. Thank you!

I am doing this to honor Lilyana Barthuly, a seven year old girl, who belongs to my church. She is a very strong and brave girl who has endured more in her seven years than anyone should have to her whole life. Please take a moment to read her story on the link on this site. You can also read more at her caringbridge page at www.caringbridge.com/lilyanabarthuly there you can see how this really consumes much of her and her family's life. Hopefully, with a little help, we can raise the funds needed to find a cure!
