I am participating in the 2014 St Baldrick's event on March 12th. I'm going to be raising money and having my head shaved to support children going through cancer treatment. It really is a great cause and a great organization.
Last year was my fifth year supporting this charity. A week after the event, I went to a birthday roller skating party with my Daughter Logan. The place was very crowded and I felt relieved that I had a freshly shaved head to keep me cool and my St Baldrick's shirt to let everyone know why I was bald.
The place had a guy dressed up as a roller skating bunny mascot. Logan said she wanted to skate with the bunny. However, the place was packed and I thought it was going to be difficult to get the mascot's attention. Suddenly, the mascot spotted me and made a beeline over to us. Since skating bunny's cant actually speak, he kept pointing to my chest and then giving me high fives. I didn't quite know what was going on, but Logan was pleased that I was so well acquainted with the bunny mascot.
Later, a sweaty guy comes over to me with his little girl. The sweaty guy was the the mascot, and the little girl (who had no hair) was his daughter who was going through radiation treatment for Cancer. He spoke to me about the support St Baldrick's gave his family while they were in the hospital with his daughter and thanked me over and over again for the work that I did with the organization. He had no idea if I had raised a dollar or ten thousand dollars for the organization, he just thanked me over and over again.
With that kind of thanks, how can I not do what I can to help?
Please help me in raising money in support of this great cause.
