Kevin Marshall's America
Yesterday I wrote of the passing for someone that was a great help to my sister during her battle with childhood cancer.
St. Baldrick’s is a non-profit that seeks to raise funds for childhood cancer research. The concept is simple: raise money and shave your head to show solidarity with those who have suffered from the disease.
This year I’ll be participating and, for the first time since I was an infant, I’ll have a shaved head.
My hair’s always been a point of pride for me, since I have so much of it and seemingly every other male on both sides of my family have succumbed to receding hairlines and bald spots.
I was also once told by my mother that I have a Gorbachev (large birthmark) on the top of my head. I don’t know if this is true or if she just didn’t want me to shave my head, but we’ll find out in just a couple weeks.
My goal is to raise $1,000. CLICK HERE to help me reach it.

Thank you for supporting this wonderful cause! My father and cousins are shaving their heads on Sunday in memory of my Uncle, who was a huge St. Baldricks supporter
THANK YOU KEVIN!!
I’m beyond excited you will be part of this event this year! Last yeasr we raised over $80,000 and this year we’re hoping to hit over $100,000.
We’ll have live music, raffles, be doing locks of love donations for those who don’t want to shave but still want to help and a lot of other great things.
This is my 3rd year…and while I’m not shaving my head, as I did my 1st, I am elated over the possibly of what this year could be!
Over 171 one people shaved last year…and the people that come out to support this event/cause make it more fun than anyone could imagine!
If you would like more information on participating, donating or volunteering please email me and let me know. Myself and one other girl are organizing it and we are excited for it to get here in 2 1/2 weeks!
