Well, I have watched my husband Robert and my daughter Willow and many friends shave their heads for the last few years and have decided to join them to show my solidarity with the kids trying to kick cancer's booty and losing their hair while doing it.
If I said I wasn't nervous, I'd be lying. It's a very scary thing to contemplate being bald by choice (especially as a woman) but every time I get nervous I think about all the people who don't have the choice. Fighting a brave fight for their lives. It gives me the courage to Brave the Shave and hopefully raise a lot of money to help fund research that will find cures and safer treatments for our kids.
God forbid you or I hear those awful words, "your child has cancer." I want to know I did something that could possibly save them and make their fight a little easier.
Did you know that every three minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer? Or that most survivors of childhood cancer live with health problems — sometimes life-threatening ones — caused by the very treatments that saved them?
Please help if you can! Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers.
Thank you!!
