I'm shaving my head in memory of my daughter, Madelyn, who lost her battle with childhood cancer. When Madelyn went through chemo and radiation therapy, she didn't lose all of her hair. She lost her hair only on the sides of her head. Naturally, she was upset about her hair loss. I tried to make her feel better by showing her pictures of female rock stars with mohawks. I like to think she felt a little better. I know for a fact, she came to love the song "I want candy" from BowWowWow. Anibelle Gwinn sported a mowhawk in that famous video from the 80's.
At 48 years old, I will look silly with a mowhawk. I would probably not even look too unusual with a bald head. This is about raising money for childhood cancer research, so I want to up the anti. I will shave my head down to a mowhawk and wear it until it grows out. I suggest y'all pony up some donations, so y'all don't have to get your head shaved!
Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. So I decided to do something about it by raising money for cures, so other children and families do not have to fight this same fight. 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.
