Basebald for the Cure
What a great Carolina Blue sky that shown on Saturday, April 2nd. The 2nd annual Basebald for the Cure was held after the ending of the Clemson vs. UNC game. With thier second win under their belt, the team came out to shave their heads in participation of the event that has now raised over $15,000. This money has gone to the Lineberger Center for the pediatric oncology patients. Here is a video that I found from the Daily Tar Heel. Please watch, it is very inspiring. One of the most touching moments for me was meeting Josh Kates and his mother Darma. I have been in contact with them for a while and this was Josh's first chance to meet Chase. They both share the same diagnosis and the fact that this kind of tumor is so rare makes it even more special. Josh was so inspired by Chase and yet, what Josh doesn't know is that he is an inspiration to us. I will have some pictures soon. Thanks to all who donated to this wonderful cause.
