Cancer is a weird 4-letter word that does not discriminate when choosing a host. It remains the leading cause of death by disease for children under the age of 15 and nearly 16,000 children are diagnosed with it every year. We've all known someone suffering with this terrible disease, but it can be especially heartbreaking when that someone is a child. For these brave warriors, some may never know the smell of an old baseball glove, or sound of a secondhand clarinet, or even the first touch of a steering wheel practicing on the old dirt road. For all, their lives are forever changed as are the lives of the friends and family who bear sword and shield in their collective fight against the disease. Diagnosis can be tricky business and developing effective care plans even trickier. When the world around grows dim with the weight of a new cancer diagnosis, the path forward is scary and often unclear, but our team of experienced professionals at the Children's Hospital of Georgia know that patient care starts with compassion, and are dedicated to using every weapon in their arsenal to beat cancer for their patients. CHOG provides inpatient and outpatient care for pediatric oncology patients. Services offered include chemotherapy, central line placement and monitoring, intravenous infusions, blood transfusions and more. In honor of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Children’s Hospital of Georgia shows its commitment to pediatric cancer patients by hosting our first “Brave the Shave” event. To show my support I have committed to shaving my head to let friends and family know that I stand with our pediatric oncology patients. Participants are asked to meet a fundraising goal of $100. Because I feel so strongly about this cause, and I have such follicular fortitude on my face, if I am able to reach a new fundraising goal of $2000 for the Children's Hospital, I will commit to shaving my face as well in support of our pediatric patients. To put it into perspective, in the last 24 years I have shaven my face only 3 times. Once to impress a girl who eventually became my wife (she liked me better with a beard). Twice for a funeral - the clippers broke mid-trim and my only option was scorched Earth. And the final time at the initial outbreak of COVID because there was no way an N-95 would fit over my luxurious facial locks. I joke, but only to show how seriously I take this cause and how eager I am to help the Children's Hospital of Georgia raise money to help make sure that child gets their chance to hit a home run and slide into home plate, or to be nervous about their clarinet recital and then to ace it, and to the chance to bump into the railings when they're parallel parking on that driver's test. Be that supporter, give our patients hope, and help make sure their caregivers, family, and loved ones have big sturdy shields and long sharp broadswords to fight that fight with their child for years to come!! What You Can Do Participants are asked to meet a fundraising goal of $100 Donate to Children’s Hospital of Georgia in honor of a friend who is participating in “Brave the Shave” or a child battling cancer.

(Minimum goal of $100 was reached, then $1000, then $1250. Bumping it up again... Let's go!) Former hem/onc RN here. I've seen first-hand the devastating effects of cancer on not just the patient, but also their family and friends. But I've also had the privilege of seeing them through their fight, and befriending them in the process. While I'm not a peds RN, I just thought I'd support the cause, especially that of the Children's Hospital of Georgia, which is next door to us. Some stats: Cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease for children under the age of 15. Approximately 15,780 children between birth and age 19 are diagnosed with cancer each year.
Friends - In honor of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Children’s Hospital of Georgia shows its commitment to pediatric cancer patients by hosting “Brave the Shave” event. This event acts as a tradition for my family to remember and celebrate the struggles of the Children. It personally allows me to satisfy my mother's last wish. I still remember her last words where she tasked me to contribute meaningfully to finding a cure for cancer. May we have a world where we are able to find cure for cancer by vaccines, personalized medicine, and lifestyle improvements. It will be my honor for you to partner with me on this journey by making any contributions.
