I'm TAKING IT OFF for kids with cancer!

 I’m going to shave my head - for the fifth time -  and I need your support! Why? Some of you may 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 evicted on April 10th 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 Foundationmade more than $12 million in grants last year alone, to some of the top pediatric cancer researchersworking today, and also to many young doctors who will be the research experts of tomorrow. And in fact, St. Baldrick's funds more children's cancer research than any other entity besides the United States government.

 

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

 

If you'd like to help, please PM me and I will send you all the details or simply go to

Thank you in advance if you are able to help and, most of all, for your continued support!
