Two years ago a friend asked me to join him in supporting childhood cancer research by shaving my head. We were incredibly touched by the generosity of our friends, family, and coworkers as we quickly exceeded our fundraising goals. So this year we decided to up the ante!
First of all, here's why I'm shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research: while cancer research is a fairly well funded area, childhood cancers are different from adult cancers. Sadly, Childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded.
Here's where I ask you for your hard earned money: Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers. Before you donate, take some time and read about Cameron and Madie, two local kids our team has chosen to honor this year. Know that your generosity will help them and thousands of other children like them.
