I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research

I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research

Before January 24, 2011 I had no idea how many children faced cancer, that changed when my daughter Emily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and I became very familiar with the horrors these kids have to face. The struggles a family endures and the pain both physically and emotionally they share. Emily fought a hard battle with grace and dignity, but passed away in May of 2012. I don’t want another family to hear that their child has cancer. I don’t want siblings to have to watch their brother or sister endure countless chemo treatments, surgeries and hospitalizations or even die because there is no cure. It is important to me that we raise awareness to childhood cancer and bring funds to organizations such as St Baldrick’s that supports childhood cancer reasearch. In the US more children die from cancer than most other diseases combined. While there are successful treatments for many common cancers, there are still others, such as the Osteosarcoma Emily had, that has seen little advances in treatment for many years. Only 4% of Federal dollars are spent on childhood cancer research, and that is why it is important to support organizations with a focus on childhood cancer. Please support me as I shave my head in honor of the many brave children I have come to know like Craig, Bre, Kaileigh, Lexi, Rachel and Matthew who had treatments with Emily, and those like Emily, Carter, Michael who are no longer with us.
In July, I'm shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research! Childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded and I decided to do something about it by raising money for cures.Now I need your help! Will you make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers.
Thank you for any donation, every bit is appreciated.
