Hi everyone it's Nick, Tomgl's son. I just wanted to let everyone know I am going to shave my head again to help raise money to find the cure for childhood cancers. Please take some time to check out my donation webpage at the St Baldrick’s website.Click for donation web page (http://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/mypage/504987/2012). If you can please click on Make a Donation and help out. The event will take place at McMullan's Irish Pub, 4650 West Tropicana Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89103, on March 3, 2012. Please feel free to come by and watch. My shave time is to be determined. Thanks everyone for the donations last year and for help this year. What is St. Baldrick's? St. Baldrick's is the world's largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research. Thousands of volunteers shave their heads in solidarity of children with cancer, while requesting donations of support from friends and family. At a St. Baldrick's event, something amazing happens. People who normally shy away from the very thought of childhood cancer find themselves compelled to support this cause after looking into the face of these brave children who are smiling broadly as their friends and family members proudly display their newly shorn heads. Volunteers and donors see it can be fun to support a serious cause. Young cancer patients and survivors see how many people care. And researchers see St. Baldrick's funds helping to find cures!

I wish I could be there this year, Nick. For everyone who hasn't, I suggest really supporting this organization and joining Nick while he does this. It is a great experience

As most of you know Nick a shy guy. It takes everything he's got to get on the stage in front of hundreds of people and TV cameras and get his head shaved. I'm always amazed that he does it every year.

Hey all St Baldricks is here in three and a half weeks. Nick is nowhere close to his goal of raising $500 before he hits the stage for his shave. I'm asking all my friends to please donate something towards his head. This is his fourth your of stepping up to raise money for cancer research. He does this on his own thinking of others with out thinking of himself. Please take a few minutes and check out what St Baldrick's is about and visit Nick's donation page.

this is a great cause i'm sure but i must disagree with NAZ, as great of a cause as it is i think i'll leave the buzz cuts to Nick as i dont want to be scalped. Hope he surpasses his goal.

Nick and I want to thank everyone for donating today. He has made his goal of $500 in donations two weeks ahead of his shave. Hopefully soon through research a reason and a cure for childhood cancer will be found. It's unfortunate but with the rate of increase eventually everyone will know a child who has suffered. If you have the chance to go to the St. Baldrick's event next month I highly recommend it. Thanks everyone for reading these posts and supporting this cause.
