There is a charity out there named St. Baldricks where people raise money in support of them shaving their head and the proceeds go to the fight against children’s cancer. Our very good friends, The Hobbs, have an incredibly big hearted son who when he learned of this charity decided he wanted to do it and now has his younger brother joining in on the effort. Below is an email that Brian sent out. Their goal is $1000, but I have volunteered my hair as well if they get to $5000. Either way, I will post pictures of their hair cut, and hopefully mine, after it occurs on March 31st.
“Sorry for the mass email as I normally dont send something like that but for me this one is worth it! My wife was telling my sons about The St Baldrick’s Foundation and an event they do at Trinity Hall where people shave their heads and raise money for kids with cancer. We have been personally touched by cancer in our family, with close friends, and unfortunately have a very close friend who’s newborn had to fight cancer(and won!) near birth as well. This hit home with McAllister and as you know he is a VERY driven kid once he gets an idea in his head. He told us he wanted to do this and was willing to shave his head!! Brodie claims he will shave as well but I wouldn’t count on that :). Really seems brave to me for a 7 year old but not near as brave as the ones that fight/survive cancer, especially kids!! So, here is his site if you have any interest in the event or even a small donation. He set the goal of a $1,000. Thanks for your time this morning!! Happy New Year to everyone!!”
