St. Baldricks

So, my little man is a baldie...

There is an organization called St. Baldricks' that raises money for children's cencer research and every year they do this big thing where people go get donations and then shave their heads in 'solidarity' with children who have cancer. Well, Jackson's cousin Taylor was diagnosed with Leukemia almost 2 years ago and he has a friend in his class who's sister was diagnosed last school year; so he volunteered to be a 'shavee'. My dad and uncle told him they would give him $100 dollars if he would do it, so Jackson set a personal goal of $140 and we signed up. Today was the big event and by the time he turned his money in he had raised $570! Here are some pictures of my shaggy little man going bald! (His cousin Taylor actually got to do some of the shaving which was pretty cool!)
