This is Bella. Bella and Aaron met and became friends in kindergarten. She has 3 younger sisters and a baby brother. We soon learned that her sister, Cali, has a brain tumor.

This is Cali. Over the past year and a half, Aaron has spent some time with Cali and he often prays for her at night.

So, when Aaron and his friend, Jackson, decided to shave their heads for St. Baldrick’s, they chose to do it in honor of sweet little Cali!

What is St. Baldrick’s? Their mission statement says “The St. Baldrick's Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives.”

What does that have to do with Aaron and Jackson? They, along with James and others, have volunteered to shave their heads to raise money and awareness for childhood cancers!

This Saturday is the big day! Their team has been hard at work raising money and growing their hair out to shave in honor of Cali!

If you would like to help support these awesome 1^st graders in their efforts to fight cancer, you can give to their team at: http://www.stbaldricks.org/teams/aarongarris

Thank you so much to those of you who have already given so generously!
