Sammy spent about nine months completely bald and several more looking like a thin haired mad professor. One of the less permanent yet most obvious effects of chemotherapy is hair loss. Now, I'm not talking just about the head...I mean EVERYWHERE! Sam had no eyebrows or eyelashes, not a single hair on his whole body. The bald look is the first announcement to the world that a person has cancer.
St. Baldrick's is a charity which raises money for childhood cancer by asking volunteers to shave their heads in return for donations. As well as raising money, these new 'baldies' also raise awareness of pediatric cancer though their bold action. I am so very proud to say that Brian became a 'baldy" to raise money for the charity.
Please visit Brian's Fundraising Page to learn about the charity and see the before and after pictures.
