Story

I am shaving my head because children in our community fight every day to beat cancer with grace, dignity, hope and a great attitude. They are truly an inspiration and we should all do our part to support their brave pursuit to overcome everything they endure to fight cancer.

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!
