My dad and Cully’s mom have been friends for 38 years; ever since they were five-years-old. Cully and I were born only two days apart in 2012. We had play dates and my dad and Cully’s mom got pictures of us together and joked about how they would show them at our wedding. That will never be a reality because one in every 285 children will be diagnosed with cancer, and my friend Cully was one of them. He fought for two years before passing away shortly before our fifth birthday. I want to make sure that research continues and that is why I will be donating 12 inches of my hair on September 18th in order to raise money for Brave the Shave, which supports local families affected by cancer and also funds cutting-edge private research. Please help me reach my goal of $1000.
