Matt Diffley, part of the resident team at Children's Hospital in Oakland, recently participated in the St. Baldrick's Day fundraising event benefiting pediatric cancer research. In the event participants shave their heads. So we have a 'new look' Matt roaming the halls of Children's this week.
In case you are unfamiliar with the St. Baldrick's Foundation, theirs is the world's largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research. At Foundation events all throughout the year, brave volunteers shave their heads, raising funds for childhood cancer research. Like runners in a marathon, "shavees" collect donations from friends, family and associates. The St. Baldrick's Foundation receives these funds and makes grants to research experts to find new and better cures for fighting kids’ cancer
