Going Bald to Support a Friend with Cancer
posted on 11/23/2009 by adminTweet
I found something I thought was pretty cool on Twitter the other day. Like many of our users on GiveForward, Nicole Knox is currently fundraising to help her friend Jenn pay for the treatments she needs to beat breast cancer. Jenn is currently going through chemotherapy, a process that makes you lose your hair. What’s really amazing is how Jenn’s community of friends and family have rallied around her in this time of need. Not only have they raised over $2775 but a few of them have really gone the extra mile. Meet Delton de Armas. In an awesome display of solidarity, Delton decided to shave his head to support Jenn’s fight against cancer.

I think this is cool because it is a very unique and meaningful way to show support. GiveForward is very thankful for not only our users, but people like Delton who support those going through tough times. We just wanted to share this little bit of holiday cheer with everyone. From the entire GF office, and we hope everyone has a happy and healthy Thanksgiving shared with friends and family as awesome as the hairless Delton!
I just found this post. You are very kind.
Jennifer is a dear friend…shaving my head was the very least I could do to identify with her fight.
Thanks for posting…I’m honored. Wish I had found this before now…
