Pediatric Cancer Foundation

That is what the St. Baldrick Foundation is all about. The name is a play on St. Patrick and bald heads.

(CNN) - The first attack of the electric razor exposed a patch of six-inch
bare skin on the scalp Dr. Craig Castellino's. A few minutes later, the pediatric oncologist at the Aflac Cancer Center in Atlanta, Georgia, was bald. "It will grow back, Castellino said as he rubbed his shaved pate." It's a small sacrifice if I can help raise funds for childhood cancer. "

Since the founding of St. Baldrick was founded nine years ago, the nonprofit organization has raised 51 million dollars worldwide for cancer research cons. He holds open-a-thons, where volunteers - like a walk-a-thon - collect donations, in this case to get their heads shaved. So far, the team Castellino has raised more than $ 8000 its goal of $ 20,000.
Kathleen Ruddy, executive director of the St. Baldrick Foundation, based in Pasadena, California, admitted shaving heads is a non-conventional fundraising, but she said it Works
"Our volunteers are walking billboards for the cause," noted Ruddy.

My son had leukemia so yes I would, even if my hair is down to my waist.

When he was sick and family friends raised over £ 12,000 in his name (although there was no head shaving - just rummage sales and a parachute)

I think if I raising money after a family member or friend had cancer, so yes I shave my hair.
I knew a woman who shaves off all his family when my friend got leukemia, it must take courage to do it!

It is stories like that help you realize that all people are bad!

Pay no attention to it above if it is still there, as I know I'm not the only one who appreciates your good offers!

Q: No I do not want, but if they were in my city I would like to donate, but my hair ...... no sorry!

It is a matter of time but if it is for someone I knew, yes I shave my head.

in a heart beat if it was someone close to me ..

Well, as a method of awareness, this scheme is probably more effective with female than male volunteers. A lot of guys are naturally bald anyway, and many others (like me!) Shaving head by choice, because they prefer it that way.

If people see a woman with a bald head, they assume she has cancer - if they see a man with a bald head, they think hey, it goes bald.

I miss the blue Mohawk, but yes I would do for family or friends.
