A Shameless Public Service Announcement

It's that time of year when things spring anew.....and it's also that time of year when people all around the Country get their heads shaved to raise awareness for pediatric cancer.  It's called St. Baldrick's


My  Grandson, Andrew.....a cancer survivor, a term we are blessed to say, is participating in his eighth  St. Baldrick's Day event. 



The first couple of years he was a bald headed toddler, who took the shears to healthy heads with some help of course. Now he's the Team Captain for Andrew's Army.



He is a young man who loves giving back by getting his head shaved to raising money.  Not many ten year old kids would do that. 

Andrew loves visiting the cancer children at CHOC, delivering comfy blankets he and his sisters make, and donating a lot of  his Christmas and Birthday gifts to them.  



If you know of a St. Baldrick's event in your area, support it, or attend it.....if you live in So CA, stop by Andrew's event .......you just might have fun too. 

OK,  here's the shameless part.......I'm bad at asking for donations, and I know so many of you do your own fundraising for so many wonderful organizations.  But, I'm a shameless grandma, so  if you have some loose change left over  from your Starbucks visit...consider donating. No amount is too small.

*if you scroll down to the bottom of  the page, there is a short video  of Andrew playing the drums, accompanied by his awesome teacher, Freddy Hernandez.
