Update: SHAVING MY HEAD FOR KIDS WITH CANCER
Every 3-1/2 minutes,
a child is diagnosed with cancer.
That's 160,000 children each year.
Look at that number again . . .
160,000 each year
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation makes grants to research institutions to find new cures for childhood cancer, and to find treatments to ensure a better quality of life for patients and survivors. The Foundation funds research projects conducted by established pediatric cancer experts, as well as younger professionals who will be the experts of tomorrow. Funds also enable hundreds of local institutions to participate in national pediatric cancer clinical trials, offering the best available care for every child.
This is my fifth year of shaving my head for the St. Baldrick's Foundation. I've set a goal of a thousand dollars from friends like you guys who are supporting my tonsorial madness by sponsoring me in this year's St. Baldrick's Day head shaving for kids with cancer. THANK YOU to everyone who has taken time out of their busy day - and dollars out of their wallets - to help me in the fight against childhood cancers. Right now, I'm almost halfway there, with $486 pledged.
At St. Baldrick’s events, volunteers get bald to raise money and stand in solidarity with kids who typically lose their hair during cancer treatments. Since the first head-shaving event on St. Patrick’s Day in 2000, St. Baldrick’s has contributed more than $50.5 million dollars to pediatric cancer research and held events around the globe. In fact, St. Baldrick's Foundation is second only to the United States government in monies given to fund grants for pediatric cancer research, and Team Brent, of which I am a part, is the number one fund raising team in the nation.
If you are interested in becoming a "shavee", participating as a barber, or just want to learn more, please visit stbaldricks.org
Or, if you can find it in your heart (or wallet, or pocketbook) to sponsor me in my journey, please visit www.stbaldricks.org/participants/donorlist/participantid/414808
and click on the big, green "Make a Donation" box.
Thank you so, so much for your interest and thank you all for your continued support!
Love,

Banded 10 years & maintaining my weight loss!! Any questions, message me.
Hi Bette,
It's fantastic that you are doing this! Childhood cancer is such an awful thing. I volunteer with an organization that makes quilts for seriously ill hospitalized children. We deliver them personally to the hospitals. It's heartbraking to see what these children have to endure. Thank you so much for what you are doing to help them. I went to you pledge link. I hope it helps.
