Manchester resident, Jennifer, is participating in the One Mission organization’s fifth annual Kid’s Cancer Buzz-Off that takes place at Gillette Stadium on June 8th. Thousands of men, women and children like Jennifer will join football’s finest, Rob Gronkowski, in “buzzing” their heads to help honor and support the many brave and hopeful children that struggle with pediatric cancer every day.
In 2014, more than 10,000 children will heartbreakingly suffer through this statistic. Jennifer has pledged to courageously shave her head this year at One Mission’s Kid’s Cancer Buzz-Off in order to show solidarity for children that have undergone pediatric cancer-related treatments. Jennifer was inspired to shave her head after a fellow teacher at her school participated in last year’s event. Additionally, their colleague’s 3-year-old son was recently diagnosed with leukemia less than a month ago and is presently being treated in the Children’s Hospital. Together they decided to make it an annual event to support and honor those battling childhood cancer. Jennifer will be joined by fellow “buzzee,” Rob Gronkowski, and many other caring families, friends and supporters who have been both directly and indirectly affected by pediatric cancer.
One Mission, a childhood cancer foundation, is dedicated to enhancing the lives of pediatric cancer patients and their families. The foundation provides help, hope, care and support to children and their families touched by pediatric cancer. One Mission’s goal is to help children and their families cope with the many physical, emotional, and financial challenges associated with this disease through their various programs and grants made available.
