For the eighth year, my son, Christopher (15), and I are going to shave our heads for St. Baldrick's to raise money for childhood cancer research. As many of you know, our community has been personally affected by pediatric cancer. Teddy Gerber, then a third grader at Christopher's school, was diagnosed with an Undifferentiated Sarcoma in November 2009. Very sadly, Teddy passed away in August 2010 after a very long and brave fight. Since then, our neighbor, Grace Evanko, passed away after a brave battle with an inoperable brain tumor. "Team Teddy" was created by our Scouts as a way for us to join together and show support for Teddy and his family during a difficult time. The Gerber family has asked that we continue Team Teddy in his honor and to raise money on behalf of so many other brave kids fighting cancer now. All together, we have shaved over 800 heads and raised more than $700,000! I hope you can make a donation. Please help Christopher and me raise at least our goal of $1,500 by March 24. If you can, please also come to the event to cheer us on, along with the other shavees (including much of Christopher's Cub Scout pack), on Friday, March 24, between 5:30 and 8:30 pm, at Osborn Hill School in Fairfield, CT.
