St Baldrick's Fundraiser

As many people already know, I am participating in St Baldrick's, which is a fund raiser for childhood cancer research. St Baldrick's participants shave their heads or cut their hair to demonstrate solidarity with children who have cancer and often lose their hair during treatment, while also raising funds for research.

I haven't had a haircut in well over a year and it has grown very long! I plan to cut between 12 to 18 inches of hair for St Baldrick's on March 14, 2008. This hair will then be donated to Locks of Love, an organization that makes wigs for children who've lost their hair for a variety of medical reasons. I am part of a team called Nathan's Network. My teammates will be shaving/cutting their hair to raise money also. Our team is named in honor of a good friend's nephew who lost his battle with Neuroblastoma (a childhood cancer) last summer.

My goal is to raise $500 for St Baldrick's by March 14 and I need your help! If you are able and willing, a donation of any amount would be greatly appreciated and put to good use to help fund childhood cancer research. If you or anyone you know would be interested in donating, please visit my St Baldrick's donation page. Spread the word - tell your friends and family about St Baldrick's!

Whether or not you're able to donate, you are also most welcome to attend the St Baldrick's event from noon til 6pm on March 14, 2008 at Fado's Irish Pub in downtown Chicago (100 W. Grand). You'll get to witness the Nathan's Network team lose their hair! I hope to see you there!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like more information!

Thanks for your help and support!
