I am applying for a research grant from the St. Baldrick's Foundation.
Let me tell you a little about St. Baldrick's:
It is completely volunteer run.
100% of the money they raise goes to pediatric cancer research.
The research they fund is judged to be clearly heading toward new cancer therapy to save lives.
Their fundraising tactic is to get people to shave their heads to garner recognition of pediatric cancer as a problem, and to fundraise along the way.
Dave, in a phenomenal show of support for me and for kids with cancer and for Children's Hospital, signed up to be a shavee. He raised money and then, on March 12, my husband became a cue ball.
As Nate observes "Daddy have no hair."
I think he looks like a hero.
