I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Team Lindsey

My name is Ben Ledwon. I am a freshman at Westmont Junior High School. This is my ninth straight year shaving. I am shaving because I want to cure children's cancer. I am shaving because it's a pretty cheap haircut. But above all, I'm shaving because my sister was the unfortunate ones who was diagnosed with pediatric cancer in 2004. She passed away in 2008. After all her years of battling cancer, shaving my head is the very least I could do.

My Roles:

  • Shavee
  • Team Captain
