Extra Extra..Hair all about it.

HUGE BLOG CANDY GIVEAWAY!!

Today is the Big Day, I can finally let this out to the world.

Do you see the similarity between Jeremy's photo below and the man to the left? Well on March 14th, it will be more obvious.

My nephew Jeremy will be participating in St. Baldrick's Foundation "Shaving his way to Conquer Children's Cancer". He wanted to do this as he has been touched by many family members and friends who have had cancer and are now survivors. Especially for our cousin Donna who we lost to brain and lung cancer three years ago, leaving behind three young children. I know Donna along with other family in heaven are smiling down at him for doing this. Also his great-great aunt, she recently underwent surgery for breast cancer. So when he had the opportunity to do this, he agreed to do it very proudly. Agreeing as a teenage boy to shave your  to head help support children's cancer is a huge sacrifice to make.

You ask...So how can I help??

I emailed several of our favorite companies, and explained the situation. They graciously agreed to donate blog candy for this cause.

What a great idea! I donated in honor of my cousin Randy who is hanging in there in his struggle. Here's my donation ID#387420. Thanks so much for doing this! ~chris pereira

[Brenda Loock]

What a great thing you are doing!
After 10 1/2 years of growing his hair, my husband was convinced by our daughter to cut it for Locks of Love. In Dec. 06 all 3 of us went and did that. I donated 10 inches, DD donated 17, DH donated 27 INCHES!!!
I tried to make a donation to your nephews site, but it keeps telling me my address is not valid. I will try again tomorrow when I can call the number listed.

Jeremy is one special kid to be willing to do this for Children's cancer. I hope he is very successful in his endeavor. I hope a lot of us stampers unite for this great cause. Thanks for bringing this to all of our attention.

[Lisa Lorigan]

You must be so proud of Jeremy! I made my donation today. Hope his fundraising is very successful.

[Jennifer]

What an amazing thing that Jeremy is doing. I think it's truly fabulous that he would do this for children's cancer research. I donated (ID #394927) and I am going to add a link to this post on my blog. I hope he raises lots of money!

If you think he would enjoy it, please send me his address and I will send him a card - just as a little show of support. {It's ok if you don't want to, but I wanted to offer b/c I would love to do something else nice to applaud Jeremy's efforts, even if it's just that simple}. My e-mail is JenLuvsStamps ~at yahoo.....dot com.

I just want to Thank my nephew for doing this brave thing for Children's Cancer. I myself donated 17 inches of hair to Locks of Love about a year ago.

If something this small can make a large impact of children with cancer,then it is worth ever penny.

Thanks to everyone who donated!!

[Janet S]

I just added a donation to Jeremy's donation page. I had to make a donation in memory of my Aunt Deloris who died from cancer when she was only 42. I admire your nephew for doing this. It takes a lot of courage for a teenage guy to do this. More power to him!

[Kim Marie]

Wendi,
What a wonderful cause! and what a great way to let people know about it! My donation is in and I'm excited to see how many companies are involved!!
Praise God!

Finally got my donation in and I am so thankful that your nephew is doing this. I had 2 different types of cancer in 2004--in less than 1 month- surgeries, chemo and radiation---and all the good stuff that goes with it. But the worst part was watching children going through treatments- these kids tried to be brave for their parents! Tell Jeremy bald really can be beautiful---esp. with some really nice earrings!!! LOL!!!! God Bless all who donate!

Wendi,
This is so wonderful of your nephew to do and for you supporting him. My DH is a survivor of childhood cancer. He was diagnosed with "Wilm's tumor" when he was 5. (He was the 4th in the world to survive this cancer.) He still remembers a lot of what he went through and being bald. This is a great foundation and we're more than happy to be able to donate to support Jeremy and the kids suffering with cancer. (ID#397990)

What a great cause!! I made a donation under Kimberly Howard and will post a link on my website as well!

[jeanne nielsen]

I just donated! I'm so proud of your son! He's going to feel incredible when this is done! I'm an oncology nurse on a bone marrow transplant floor (adult) and see people doing things like this to make a difference all the time -- sometimes it's big, like what your son is doing, and sometimes it's smaller scale. Nevertheless, to a person affected with cancer, it's HUGE! Jeanne

[mcbetty]

So glad to participate! Have lost too many to cancer, and have seen others survive and beat it. Great for your nephew.

Being a two year lung cancer survivor, I am glad to donate to the cause. I donated under the name Lucy G. Garcia-Henson. I will pass this on to some of my stamping buddies, some are also cancer survivors.
