It is hard to imagine a more meaningful way to support childhood cancer research than by taking action, and a Lassen High School graduate is proving that by shaving his head this coming Friday, March 13th. He is taking this bold step in a powerful show of solidarity for children fighting cancer as part of a St. Baldrick’s Foundation event benefiting the Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation. The event will take place at the Reno Ballroom, located at 401 N Center Street, from 5:30p.m. to 8:00p.m., with an ambitious overall fundraising goal of $200,000.
“Why am I shaving my head with St. Baldrick’s? Because your donation “on my head” will actually save lives, like my daughter Felina,” explains Montgomery. “She fought and won her battle with leukemia. While she won her battle, others have not. No child should have to take up this fight. Please join me in helping to fund the research that will hopefully one day childhood cancer will be a thing of the past.”
“Kids with cancer need our support now more than ever. St. Baldrick’s is the largest non-government funder of childhood cancer research grants, and the pandemic has slashed donations, slowing down the progress to find cures. Cancer kills more of our kids than any other disease. Research can change that, and I don’t want to let these kids down. Can you help? Thank you so much!”…
