I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: For The Love Of Jack

I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: For The Love Of Jack

My son Jack was diagnosed in 2007 with brain and spinal cancer. The primary tumor in his head was 6 cm's in size (Tennis Ball) and would have taken his life in less than two weeks. In less than 24 hours Jack was being operated in a special operating MRI suite at Children's Hospital Boston by a team of surgeons led by the Chief of Neurosurgery at Harvard.

Since that initial 12 hour surgery, Jack has had 15 surgeries and more than 120 weeks of Chemotherapy. He never complains about pain or why he has to go through this. I am astounded by the toughness of my son and all of these cancer kids. I have seen far too much suffering, far too many parents that have had to bury their children and far too many charities that AREN'T Charitable and don't effeciently and effectively get the money in the hands of the researchers that can finally cure this disease.

I am shaving my head to honor my son's war with cancer, his courage and stubborness in the face of this disease. I want to stand in solidarity with kids and families fighting cancer, but more importantly, to raise money to find cures. I have finally found a charity that I believe in; one that delivers a giant % of the funds raised to the research and they will deliver to the researchers directly working on Jack's cancer. A disease that takes more lives than all other diseases in the developed world.

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!
