It all started In 1999, Tim Kenny 
challenged friends John Bender and Enda
McDonnell to find a way to give back to
society. These three reinsurance 
executives turned their Indsustry St. 
Patrick's Day party into a benefit for 
kids with cancer. What could they do to
really turn the heads-and open the
wallets-of their colleagues? John 
suggested shaving Enda's head since 
kids typically lose their hair during 
cancer treatment. "People will gladly
pay to see you bald, Enda!"  Never one
to miss an opportunity, Enda replied,  
"I will if you will," and the 
St.Baldrick's was born. Since the year 
2000 over 26,000 shaves-more than 
2,000 women-have shaved their heads at 828 St. Baldrick's 
celebrations!!!! St. Baldrick's is the world biggest event for 
childhood cancer. It has been featured accross the nation in 
Newspapers(USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune) On 
television (Good morning america, ESPN Cold Pizza) and on Hundreds 
of websites (AOL homepage, Irish Abroad.com  firehouse.com 
Officer.com and now Jina Ink.com) Global events include fundraisers 
in Asia, South America, Bermuda, and Europe. Childhood cancer kills 
more children than   any other disease- more than AIDS, Asthma, 
diabetes, cystic fibrosis, and   congenital anomalies, combined.  
Fifty years ago childhood cancer was almost   fatal.  due to 
advancements in Diagnosis and treatments, today over three- 
quarters of children survive, but some types of cancer remain very
difficult to cure. That's why the Baldrick's foundation supports 
research by raising awareness and funds at head-shaving events 
around the world. Together, we can conquer kid's cancer!  I spent 
time with a new friend named Robert, I called Bobby we had so much 
fun watching magic trick's...these guy's are so good I'm still 
trying to figure out their magic.  Remember to thank the man above
for the little thing's that make us smile. I dedicate this story 
to millions effected by this disease. You can count on my support!!!!
