It's almost time for a haircut again

Blog author Walter Little, Jr. at the St. Baldrick's event.

It's hard to believe it's been almost a year since I was introduced to a wonderful organization called the St. Baldrick's Foundation (website). For those of you who might not be familiar with them, they are one of the leaders in the field of childhood cancer research. Their primary means of funding this research is by recruiting volunteers - such as myself - who don't have cancer to have their head shaved. This serves two key purposes: 1) it shows support for the kids who have lost their hair to cancer; and 2) It raises $$$. Last year, for example, we raised $23,000 -- more than four times the original goal our team had set!

For the second consecutive year, I will be part of the Barrow County Emergency Services team headed by Firefighter Rob Nowakowski. This year we're going to gather at Dakota's Grill and Bar in Auburn, Georgia (Direction below) on Saturday, May 17, 2012. Join us as we raise money for the kids and have a little fun, food, and fellowship all at the same time!

Hope to see you on the 17th!
