I am excited to announce that for the third straight year, I am shaving my head in solidarity with cancer stricken children who typically lose their hair during treatment, and to raise critical funds for childhood cancer research.
Similar to last year, I will provide additional incentive for those of you who enjoyed my "before and after" pics last year, by going 2 MONTHS without a haircut leading up to the April 1st St. Baldrick's event. With two weeks to go, I am confident that I will be well on my way to a "Billy D Williams" mini fro again.
I vividly recall watching my little cousin, Cameron, who was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (Stage B), battle for his life at the tender age of 2 years old. He had “tennis ball” sized tumors in his liver, pancreas, and spine. The doctors told us he had less than 6 months to live. Though completely devastated, we remained hopeful and continued to pray. God heard our prayers and Cameron miraculously made a complete recovery and has remained cancer free for 12 years!
Unfortunately many children that battle cancer do not have the happy ending that Cameron had. In the US alone, more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease. Please make a donation on my behalf to support childhood cancer research so that all children diagnosed with cancer will have a better chance for a cure.
