I have been fortunate to be able to participate and support the cause the foundation Arms Wide Open (pediatric cancer) fights on a daily basis for the past nine years. 2021 was my first year shaving and back again this year! In 2021 my wife and I welcomed our first child into the world and we were blessed with a beautiful/healthy boy. I am shaving this year as I could not imagine the battles families face with a child courageously battling this ugly disease. 

I hope you can support me this year (and many more years to come) as I shave to be a small part of eradicating a disease which no child should ever have to endure. With your support we can together take a bigger step forward funding research to develop cures and support families in financial need to make sure their child receives the necessary care.
