St. Baldrick's - After

So I survived....  Watched a lot of very brave people shave off all their hair for a great cause.  Participants included: my coach Jeremy, my nephew Brody and our Oncologist Dr. Sandival.  I couldn't believe it when Dr. S walked through the door.  I almost fell out of my chair and Sean laughed himself silly.  

Two Remarkable Things: 

     #1 The whole event was organized by a 17 year old kid.  The back story is "Justin" was twelve when his younger brother was diagnosed with Sarcoma.  Justin was devastated and wanted to do something to help this cause so he got involved with St. Baldrick's.  This is the third year in a row that Justin has organized this event.  Well Done!

     #2 I saw so many families there that I know.  Now don't misunderstand me, I have no idea what their names are but I know their faces.  I am assuming the familiarity comes through Maria Ferari, treatment, other fundraisers, CCF, Giant Kids etc.  The HV Cancer community is very small and very friendly.  A lot of smiles and hellos were sent our way.  Us Cancer Moms chatted up treatment, travel plans, school and St. Ginny.  (Eventually, I will devote a whole blog to Nurse Ginny.)

All in all a great time!!!! Pat is already talking about when he will shave his head.  Sean was a pseudo-celebrity and even got to kick off the event by saying  "Let's shave!!!". 

Thank you all who participated and who donated.
