Deed #1: Shaving my head for children's cancer research

       Last night, I shaved my head in support of children's cancer research for the St. Baldrick's Foundation (www.stbaldricks.org). Last summer, I interned with a wonderful non-profit based out of Houston, TX called The Periwinkle Foundation (www.periwinklefoundation.org) that provided summer camps and programming for pediatric cancer patients. It was a life changing experience and one that inspired me to take a stand for all of the children out there who have been diagnosed with pediatric and adolescent cancers. Shaving my head is my first step towards taking that stand! I encourage all of you out there to find a St. Baldrick's event in your area and celebrate the fact that BALD IS BEAUTIFUL!!
