I have been fortunate in my lifetime not to have experienced having to hear the voice of a doctor say, "you have cancer". So many others in my family have not been so fortunate. When I think about the disease and what all goes with it, I can't help but think of it's youngest victims and I honestly cannot imagine just how devastating it would be for a child to hear he or she has cancer to for a parent to hear that their child has cancer. I just cannot imagine. Yet tragically, such news is delivered literally thousands of times each day.
In honor of those in my family that have lost their lives to cancer, to those who are still fighting this disease and the tens of thousands of children newly diagnosed each year, I have decided to join many others in having my head shaved (again) at a St. Baldrick's event and to raise money in an effort to fight this devasting illness. I ask that you join me in my efforts and help make a difference!
