Thank you so much to everyone who has shared and donated to Balding for Dollars. Your donations will help reduce the financial stress on families who have a child with cancer and by spreading the word you are raising the public’s awareness of childhood cancer.

So far we’ve raised $3,570 from this website!!! The whole Balding for Dollars Main Even team has raised $28,626!!! I’d love to reach the goal of $4000 for my campaign, so share this link with family and friends if you can!!!

Come out on Saturday…that’s TOMORROW…for BC Children’s Hospital’s Balding for Dollars Main Event to show your support for kids with cancer and watch me get my head shaved!

Show the kids that you think bald is beautiful.
