The reason I am willing to allow a childhood cancer survivor to shave my head is I personally am a cancer survivor and have a very soft heart for children.

I am willing to do anything to make a child feel more comfortable and better about themselves. I know what it is like as an adult to have cancer but cannot imagine going through the experience as a child.

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!
