My cousin Olivia was diagnosed February of 2017. She is doing better and trying to get back to a normal 17 year old life. She has to get scanned every 3 months to make sure the cancer hasn’t found another place to grow. She’s a fighter and she is asking us to keep fighting and help find a cure. That’s why I am a shaver — donate to my page and be a life saver.
Osteosarcoma is a rate cancer that attacks growing teens and kids. One minute you are going to the doctor for a sore knee, like Oliva and John did, and the next minute you find out that you need limb-sparing surgery and many weeks of some of the most brutal chemotherapy around.
I'm shaving my head to raise money for osteosarcoma research. The only thing they know about Osteosarcoma after 30 years, is that catching it early improves the odds of survival.
Kids are no longer enduring amputatations because limb sparing surgery has come a long way...but life expectancy and survival hasn’t changed and we want to change that. THANKS
