Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?

This is the second year that I have shaved my head for Saint Baldricks. I did it for the first time in 2020 when I was 11. I have had several people in my life that have been diagnosed with cancer, some of whom have unfortunately passed away. 

When I was 7, my mom sat me down and told me that one of my friends, Galia, Had leukemia. By Christmas, She had a bone marrow transplant done. Less than a year later, Galia passed away. 

Did you know, 1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. won’t survive? For those who do, more than 96% have severe or life-threatening conditions by the time they are 50.

Each shaved head, every dollar donated, creates a ripple effect of progress for kids with cancer.

Your gift will give kids and their families hope, supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.

Together, let’s give these kids the lifetime they deserve. Thank you for your support!
