I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: SUFFOLK FIREFIGHTERS EMERALD SOCIETY

So here I go again.  14 years now and I'm still shaving my head to help raise the necessary funds to fight childhood cancers.

Its so crazy to think that, next year, it will have been 30 years since my brother Peter passed away from Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors.  Cancer doesn't only affect the patient, it affects the whole family.  Our family was attacked by this cancer.  My brother was taken from us.  We were 6 siblings and then all of the sudden we were only 5.  Cancer punched my family right square in the face and then followed with a body shot to the gut.  My family was knocked down.

We gathered together and in Peter's memory we built our faith and our strength.  As a family, we participate with St. Baldrick's Foundation.  Hoping to fund the research that one day wipes out all childhood cancers.

I don't want to see any family go through what my family and my brother had to endure.

On March 12th, at Napper Tandy's Irish Pub in Northport, I'm shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research! 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.

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.
