St. Baldrick's Day

Sunday, March 18, 2007, 7:47 AM

In honor of my husband Bill's quest to eradicate Children's Cancer....Please read the following PSA.

"You heard it right - I'm shaving my head in solidarity with children who have cancer and typically lose their hair during treatment, while raising critical funds for childhood cancer research!
In the US, more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease. Please make a donation on my behalf to support childhood cancer research so that all children diagnosed with cancer will have a better chance for a cure."

To learn more about St.Baldrick's Day, go here.

The Shaving will be held on April 6th in Armstrong Hall on the Colorado College campus. In order to bring attention to Bill's quest, he dye's his hair....usually an obnoxious color, in order to not only bring attention to his quest, but to facilitate conversing with strangers about St. Baldrick's Day and Children's Cancer. Last year he was Smurf Blue and this year he's going to do USDA purple. If you would like to help in the fight to find a cure for Childhood Cancer please click on this link and either "Donate Online" or "Download a Donation Form" and mail in your donation. Either way the kids could really use your help. His goal this year is 1,000 dollars (even tho his website says 500). Last year you all generously helped me mum with her first head shaving and organizing an event. I promised my husband he would get fair air. Although Bill loves to shave his head every year...the dyeing is a bit uncomfortable for him. See what I mean?

Here's himself on the stage getting ready to be shorn.

Please donate and help end this terrible scourge on children and their families?

I admire Bill's courage and drive to do something so personal and public for this cause.
