What started as a challenge 25 years ago has become the largest volunteer movement to save kids with cancer. But our work isn't done.

Together, we can raise funds to fuel research that gives hope to kids with cancer everywhere.

Hundreds go bald for a good cause: Finding a cure for pediatric cancer

Joseph was an extremely brave boy - his motto was "Be Brave Joey". He was diagnosed with AT/RT in March of 2007. During that year he endured 2 biopsies, surgeries, chemo, radiation, and finally a stem cell transplant. He endured all this with a smile on his face. Unfortunately, Joey's cancer returned in May 2010. He was cancer free for about 1 1/2 years. He once again received chemotherapy. He also had Proton Radiation. We spent 2 months in Houston in order to have this done. Again in August of 2011 we found out that his cancer returned. His tumor threatened a nerve that controlled his diaphragm. With no standard treatments available we turned to clinical trials. He was accepted at St. Jude. Unfortunately his past treatments have damaged his arteries in his neck and he suffered mini strokes. He loved to play his PS3 games. He was very social and looked forward to returning to school. One day he hoped to return to playing soccer. He also enjoyed hanging out with dad watching football, baseball and hockey.

I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Team Malone

I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Team Malone

I'm shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research! Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. So I decided to do something about it by raising money for cures.

Now I need your help! Will you make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers.

We believe all kids should be able to grow up and turn their dreams into realities. Join our event or make a donation, and click the photos below to read their incredible stories.
