Help me take a stand against blood cancer
Today Quinn did something incredible… something completely unplanned, completely brave, and completely her.
She didn’t wake up this morning knowing she was going to shave her head. There was no big lead-up, no months of fundraising, no carefully laid plans. Just a moment, a decision, and a whole lot of courage.
And just like that… it was gone.
Watching her sit there and make that choice so calmly, so fearlessly—it stopped me in my tracks. Because this wasn’t about hair. It was about empathy. About standing in solidarity with people fighting battles she can’t even fully understand yet, but somehow still feels deeply enough to act on.
That’s the kind of person she is.
So this is her “after the fact” fundraiser. A backwards kind of bravery, if you will. The action came first… now we’re asking for your support.
If you can spare anything at all, please consider donating to help fund cancer research. Every dollar matters. Every bit of support counts.
And if nothing else—just take a second to appreciate a kid who didn’t hesitate when it mattered.
I am beyond proud. Truly. She’s my hero 🤍
