I'm letting Reina shave my head in support of kids with cancer and to raise money to try to help them. Reina has been my hair stylist for years and has become a good friend along the way. She has a kind heart and has come up with this idea not only to shave her own head to raise money for St Baldrick's but to orchestrate an entire event her first time out.

I don't know any kids with cancer myself and I count myself lucky. I don't want any kids to have to deal with it and I can't begin to imagine being the parent of a child with cancer. Shaving my head is the least I can do but it's only the first step. You've got to donate money in order to make my bald future worth it. Wouldn't you think the price of a dinner out is worth it? Make it a nice dinner at a "sit-down" restaurant - not McDonald's! I promise to share pictures of the aftermath if you do.

Here's the canned donation text:

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!
