We're in the homestretch! Thanks to YOU we started this year less than $600k from fully funding the largest single charitable research grant dedicated to Osteosarcoma which, incredibly, has already been put to the work in the laboratory. No time is being wasted; after funding $600k last year alone, bringing our total-to-date to $900k, St Baldrick's board of scientific leaders helped the grant team started by my uncle and others choose the most important and promising project. The winning group immediately got to work last November and is already showing progress. Exhilarating for a therapeutic area which has seen no change in treatment in over 30 years.
To help finish the direct research funding, I'm again shaving my head in honor of my amazing cousin Olivia who is in remission from osteosarcoma. Our little team is just kicking off after the big shave culminated for this year but they need us-- the effort is now just ~$175k from reaching the full $1.5 million!
Please help me help others. I have been working at kids' cancer fundraising awhile, thanks to the phenomenal support of so many of you from when I myself was sick as a little kid -- I really hope I can count on you again. Please join me in getting us to the finish line and donating what you can to see me bald and to TAKE ACTION towards putting an end to this terrible disease.
Every little bit counts so I greatly appreciate anything you can give. Awesome to spread the word, too! And I'll send you a pic with my wholehearted thanks after I've braved the shave for Olivia again. ;D
Thank you very much for your continued support!
