Balding for Babies (With Cancer)
Oct 28th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Everyday Heroes, Healing Our World
It is true that this world is full of suffering, disease and pain – but mingled in the midst of the darkness are points of light which shine very brightly. Kristen is one of these lights. In order to raise money for children with cancer, Kristen will be shaving her head on March 20, 2010. In this ‘Appearance is Everything’ culture where women spend *billions* on beauty products, this courageous lady will shear her locks to help raise money to save a child. Read her story and then make a donation – even $1 will help fund the research to save the lives of thousands of little ones who are battling this deadly disease. ~Dee
In Kristen’s own words…
I can’t imagine watching one of my four children dying. Even worse, I can’t imagine watching them suffer before they passed away. I can’t fathom watching one of my sons or daughters lying in a bed…unable to move…spitting up blood and screaming in pain. I don’t think any parent can .
Bob, 74, is an artist retired from ATT. His book, Star Walker, was dedicated to his youngest son Mark who died in 2004 at 36. Mark had battled schitzophrenia since 19. We began Bob’s move to Fairhope, AL Mother’s Day weekend, 2008 then returned to Atlanta where I lived.
