OK, last pitch. The St. Baldrick's Foundation does a lot of great work funding studies for the prevention and treating of childhood cancer.

Posted by pfm: head shaved in *1 day*! (aka mayhem) Apr 6 '17, 12:38

The stories of what these kids have to go through are heartbreaking. What the families have to endure are incredible.

Only 4% of the funding the federal government spends on cancer research is dedicated to childhood cancers....and there's a lot of concern that what money there has been in the past will be cut.

In 24 hours, I'll be getting my head shaved. I'm always really proud of and touched by the generosity of the ST community in supporting this cause.

If you want to do a little to make a big difference, waited to donate until the rest of the cool STers have done so, have a few bucks to spare on a tax-deductible donation, or any combination of the above....here's your chance.
