Shaving my head for St. Baldricks

SO..OVER $15-THOUSAND RAISED FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER RESEARCH OVER THE WEEKEND..AT THE ST. BALDRICKS FOUNDATION FUNDRAISER..

"MY" GOAL WAS TO RAISE $101.50 & I RAISED $125..

THANKS TO ALL WHO PLEDGED A DOLLAR-OR-TWO..

ST. BALDRICKS IS A "GREAT" ORGANIZATION..
------------

I'M "STILL"-ADJUSTING TO MY NEWLY-SHAVED HEAD..

EVERY-TIME I RUN MY HAND OVER MY HEAD..
IT JUST "FEELS"-WEIRD..

IT REMINDS ME OF THE WAY MY GRANDPA'S HEAD FELT-LIKE..

& I "LOVED" MY GRANDPA..

IT "ALSO" REMINDS ME OF MY DAD..

HE DIED OF CANCER 3-YEARS-AGO..

& AFTER UNDERGOING CHEMO..

HE LOST ALL OF HIS HAIR..

I HAVE A PICTURE ON MY DESK
OF MY DAD BEFORE HE DIED..

WITH NO-HAIR..

& WHEN I SEE MYSELF IN THE MIRROR..

OR..RELECTED IN A WINDOW..

IT REMINDS ME OF MY DAD..

& I "LOVED" MY DAD..

SO..THE WHOLE SHAVED-HEAD..

HAS GIVEN ME SOME GOOD MEMORIES OF THE-"2"

"MOST"-IMPORTANT MEN IN MY LIFE..
