"The popular adage, “life isn’t fair”, can be an unfortunate truth. The ice cream falls off your cone, thunderstorms ruin your camping plans, a five year old child is diagnosed with cancer. Life can be unfair to the smallest and largest degrees. However, despite its frequent truth, I am often bothered by the passive, hopeless manner in which it is regularly stated when the potential for change exists. This year, I am shaving my head to change the situation of children and their families affected by cancer in Canada. I am shaving my head to make a statement that hair does not define a person. I am shaving my head to raise funds and awareness for a condition that takes lives, breaks families, and instills fear. I am shaving my head to contribute to research that will allow children to experience a childhood and adult life outside of the walls of a hospital. By shaving my head I hope to support change for the thousands of children in Canada that courageously battle cancer day in and day out. Life does not always have to be unfair."
