Are you brave enough to help out kids fighting cancer in Rochester, Minnesota

Every 2 minutes, a child is being diagnosed with "cancer".  2 minutes.  By the time you are done reading this story, another child will have heard the devastating news that the fight of their life is about to begin.

St. Baldrick's was started to help out kids who are in that fight and the way people help raise money requires a little bit of bravery...and buzzing some hair.

Since no hospital has a monopoly on good ideas, St. Baldrick’s funds the most promising research — no matter where it happens.

Choosing that research takes more than 200 experts.
Funding it takes people like you!

Together, we support more childhood cancer research grants than any other charity.

Join us and Give Kids a Lifetime. - stbaldricks.org

Right now, people are mustering up their courage to get their heads shaved on July 9th in Rochester, Minnesota to help raise money for these kids and you can join in on the fun!  You can either get your head shaved too...and you'll help kids just like these:
