Going Bald for Kids with Cancer
The St. Baldrick's Foundation hosted St. Baldrick Shave
Event on Saturday, May 15th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at
Children's Hospital Central California, Madera.
According to Children's Hospital: "The
St. Baldrick’s Foundation raises money and awareness
globally for childhood cancer research through
volunteer-driven events that pair great fun with this
worthy cause. At these events, participants shave their
heads in front of cheering supporters to experience
themselves one of the most stigmatizing public aspects
of cancer -- losing one’s hair from chemotherapy
treatment. Those shaving their heads will be
enthusiastically cheered on by crowds of friends,
family, doctors, nurses, children and others who have
been touched by cancer to further awareness that
pediatric cancer is the #1 disease killer of children."
