Anyone want to pay to see me bald? I will have more details in the coming weeks…but on Sunday, September 22nd, I will be joining Gary Wolfe and the rest of Krista’s Crusaders on stage at the St. Baldrick's head-shaving event!

For those who don’t already know, St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer and donor-powered charity committed to supporting the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers, and give survivors long and healthy lives!

I will be having my head shaved in efforts to raise money for the cause! For those who have known me my whole life, I’ve always had a full head of hair. I kept it shorter for a few years, but now…I haven’t cut it since last year and come September, it’s likely to be about shoulder length! It’ll definitely be noticeable once I shave it 😂🤣😅

Stay tuned for more info!

HELP WANTED!!!

Title: Supporter/Contributor

Duties: Help make the wishes of sick children come true by gifting what you can, or by sharing this link to help to spread the word. All donations are tax-deductible as charitable contributions, and the first $10,000 my team raises will be matched by American Retirement Counselors, doubling your support!

Compensation: Knowing that children who face life-threatening medical conditions are being given hope in the form of a once-in-a-lifetime experience is more than adequate pay for me…however…for our donors, Team ARC is doing a drawing for a 1-ounce bar of .999 fine gold! That’s worth over $2,000!! Every $25 donation enters you for a chance and a donation of $100 gets you 5 entries into the drawing!!! It’s really a win-win-win!

The Catch: There is none! All donations go directly to the Make-A-Wish foundation, they’re tax-deductible, they’re doubled for the first $10,000 in donations, and you just might win a 1oz bar of gold!

To stand in solidarity with these kids and try to understand the pain they face yet the determination to push through, I will be hiking 28.3 miles on the foothills trail in one day! It will hurt, it will be exhausting, but it pales in comparison to what these kids are tasked with…please join me in supporting this cause, in whatever way you can!

Thank you!
