The 46 Mommas represent all mothers who make the cancer journey with their child. We come from across the U.S. and Canada and have different backgrounds, beliefs, and lifestyles, but there is one thing we all have in common – childhood cancer. We are dedicated to making a difference by shaving our heads to help fund research, and we have raised more than $1.9 million for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation since our inaugural event in 2010.
(I’m an honorary “momma” as I participated as a “celebrity” head-shaver at the inaugural event in 2010!)
