St. Baldricks - Team Brent

My brothers swim team all shaved their heads yesterday. Unlike most teams in their league, they didn't shave it just because it was the end of the season and states was right around the corner. They shaved their heads for a cause. What cause? St. Baldricks. St. Baldrick's is a foundation that raises millions of dollars for cancer each year. The event yesterday, was in honor of a seven year old boy, Brent who is a cancer survivor and an adorable little kid. Together, the team raised over $3000 dollars. Before the actual head shaving event, everyone was saying how "they wouldn't have friends if they shaved their head," which is completely ridiculous. If someone is that shallow to not be friends with you because you shaved your head to help kids with cancer, well quite frankly, you need new friends. Each and every one of the kids on the team inspires me and did what they knew was right. Together, Team Brent gave me Hope.
