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.
I lost my Mother in law to Cancer last year- she was an amazing woman and she was so incredibly brave in the way she faced her disease. She remained steadfast that she was lucky to have lived such a long and happy life and she said more than once how she felt that is was okay for her to get Cancer so late in life, but how awful it was and how unfair it was that kids, who'd had no life at all, should be robbed of their childhood and future by something as awful as Cancer.
So I decided to do something about it, in the name of my mother in law, Philippa Sommerville, will you make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the
the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers.
My goal is to raise US$10,000 and in return I will shave my hair, which I happen to be very attached to.....I cannot imagine how awful it will be to be bald (and I have big ears and an ugly head!) but in context losing my hair if it helps to save just one child from dying of cancer is worth it. Please support me!
