Having my head shaved during the Clips for Cancer event is one way to demonstrate to our young patients that they aren't alone. 

To show their support of local children battling cancer, The John E. & Aliese Price Foundation has issued a challenge grant, pledging to match donations raised by Larry, up to $25,000!

As Lee Health's President and Chief Executive Officer, I am proud to join other leaders in our community, as well as the generous donors who support Barbara's Friends, to show our young heroes that they have the love and support of our community behind them. 

Tune in to the live stream on the Lee Health Foundation Facebook page on Friday, September 18 at 8am to check out my new hairdo!

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!
