Hi, everyone!

Happy 2010! I hope the new year is treating you all very well.

 

I’m going to shave my head - for the fourth time -  and I need your support! Why? You know why! I’m taking it all off to raise money for childhood cancer research – going bald in solidarity with kids battling this terrible disease.  

 

The poor hairs on my head will find themselves forcibly ejected on Saturday, March 6th as part of this year's St. Baldrick's Day organization event.  Please help me reach my goal of a thousand dollars by then both to justify this bodacious decision, and to fund as much research as possible! 

 

More than 160,000 kids are diagnosed with cancer each year. Despite tremendous progress, cancer remains the #1 disease killer of children in the U.S. and Canada. I’m out to help change that! Team Brent - of which I am proud to be a member - continues to be the top fund-raising St. Baldrick's Team in the world, raising over $3 million, one head at a time.

 

Since St. Baldrick’s began in 2000, shavees like me have helped raise more than $69 million, enabling the organization to grow into the world’s largest fundraising event for childhood cancer. The Foundation made more than $12 million in grants last year alone, to some of the top pediatric cancer researchers working today, and also to many young doctors who will be the research experts of tomorrow. 

 

Children fighting cancer lose not only their hair but precious years from their childhood, and sometimes their lives. Compared to a child’s struggle, shaving my head is a small sacrifice, and your gift can help save lives.
