Despite tremendous progress, cancer remains the #1 disease killer of children in North America.  I’m out to help change that! Since St. Baldrick’s began in 2000, shavees like me have raised more than $50 million. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation made $15 million in grants last year, to some of the top pediatric cancer researchers working today, and also to 30 young doctors who will be the research experts of tomorrow. Children fighting cancer lose not only their hair but years of their childhood, and sometimes their lives. Compared to their struggle, shaving my head is a small sacrifice, and the money raised will make such a difference for them.

Bob had suggested meeting for breakfast at one of his favorite restaurants. He rose and greeted me with a hardy handshake and an inviting smile. It’s hard to describe exactly what drew me to Bob, but within minutes I felt he was an old friend. Perhaps it was his smile or warm, friendly manner. Interviewed By: Marvin H.
