St. Baldrick's Heros

They did it to raise money for a cure. 
 Andrew's Cub Scout buddy's joined him at the St. Baldricks Day event.   What great friends!


They did it to stand toe-to-toe with those still fighting for their lives
Andrew loves Zoe.  He knows there is no cure for her cancer....another  reason to support St. Baldricks.


They did it as a reminder that too many kids get cancer
And because they love each other more than you can imagine.


She did it because....
She  wanted to let her brother know that she too wanted to make a difference....


......and with no regrets!   

Grandma J suggested that this beautiful sister is mature enough to get her ears pierced.....and shouldn't have to wait until she's a teenager.  Her parents agreed!!!


They did it again, and again, and will never forget
Angel legend and Baseball Hall of Famer, Rod Carew lost his daughter Michelle to Leukemia 15 years ago.   He continues to raise funds and awareness, claiming to have gained many more children in the process.  I'm sure his daughter is proud of him.


They did it for love
The saying, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree",  couldn't be any truer!   Dad has always been a supporter and advocate for finding a cure through fundraising.
