I'm shaving my head to support local kids with cancer
Michael Fly is raising money for Lee Health Foundation
Story
The children battling cancer at Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida inspire members of our community every day with their bravery, strength and spirit. I am personally inspired by their stories of strength, courage, and perseverance.
Cancer has touched my family just like it has many others. So, when an opportunity presents itself for me to join the fight, I am all in! As the parent of a 13 month old child, I cannot imagine the tremendous amount of fear, pain, and stress that comes along with a child’s cancer diagnosis. But, I know that if the proceeds from this fundraiser offset their stress in the slightest way or take just one worry off their plate, it will be well worth it!
By shaving my head, I hope to be able to bring our community together to recognize the unbelievable strength of these families, the good work being done through Barbara’s Friends at Golisano’s, and to rally around them all in support! With your assistance, Barbara's Friends will be able to continue to provide children and their families who are battling cancer with hope, joy, and comfort. Even the smallest donation can make a huge difference. By contributing $25 you will provide a family with the gas card needed to get their child to and from cancer treatment for TWO FULL WEEKS! $25 to you may mean little, but to these families it could mean the world!
For the past 25 years, Barbara's Friends has helped over 8,000 local SWFL kids with cancer and blood disorders from infancy to age 30. Since March 1, when COVID-19 began, more than 25 local children have been told they have cancer. Last year 49 children were diagnosed. The numbers are up. More families need your help. Please support our Shavees' by making a donation and share with your friends and family to make a difference in our community. Cancer doesn't care who, when or where. WE DO!
