We had to get out the scissors to help get through all this hair but we’re back to the clippers now. If you ask me my daughter is having a little too much fun… To donate to my 3-Day Walk, please visit www.the3day.org/goto/jmrizer
tinyurl.com All my friends are going bald. Never thought I’d see the day. Even as I say this, I am wiping one of my hairs off the screen of my new Dell Inspiron R laptop. That’s okay. Google says the average human loses twenty-five to one hundred hairs a day, more so in the fall. One hundred hairs a day, twenty-four hours a day: that’s four hairs an hour. That means if I can keep it to only three more this hour, I should be fine, shouldn’t I? Until I was twenty-one, I had bad acne. I always thought when I got rid of it, I would be stunningly attractive and girls would fall at my feet. Finally, when I was twenty-one, I changed dermatologists and the new doctor recommended I use Accutane. “But Dr. Flynn,” I told her, “my last dermatologist said there are lots of really bad side effects.” “Don’t be such a pussy,” she replied. Or something like it. Probably didn’t use those exact words. So eight months later, after dry lips and neck pain, (which was probably unrelated, but I had convinced myself it meant I would die of cancer) I looked in the mirror and my skin was clear. I smiled. Happy. Content for the first time that I had no overall looks-issue I had to worry about. My braces were out, my skin was clear, things were good. I smiled, and it lasted for fifteen seconds. Then, a glimmer of light in the mirror. What was that? I didn’t recognize that. I turned my head to the left and there it was, giving me the middle finger. A gray hair. Mother fucker. It took me a little while …
***Special thanks to Jerry Thomas (NYCOM Class of 2014) for making this cool video.*** We are a team of medical students and professors from New York College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYCOM) who have shaved our heads to show our solidarity for children affected by cancer. As a medical profession, it is our RESPONSIBILITY to lead the charge in this fight, as well as with other diseases. People joined Team NYCOM because they had a desire, a dream, a vision. In one loud, clear voice, Team NYCOM firmly declared that they WILL NOT accept the status quo of current cancer treatments and WILL NOT just sit around and do nothing. We have raised over 000!!… Team NYCOM website: www.stbaldricks.org Final Count: 70 MEMBERS STRONG (32 student shavees + 7 faculty shavees + 28 volunteers + 2 honorary members + 1 DOG!) “To become a doctor implicitly places us on the side of those who believe the world can change. Every medical act challenges the apparent inevitability of the world as it is and the natural history of illness, disability, and death…people become physicians to struggle against the weight of human suffering, and thereby place themselves squarely on the side of those who intervene in the present, because they believe the future can be different.” -Dr. Jonathan Mann
I decided to shave my head in honor of my best friend going through breast cancer for the 2nd time.

Aiden Perkins is only two months old, but times have been tough. A couple weeks ago, his mom was changing his diaper when she found something bad. (Felisha Jorgenson): And he had a medium-sized bump on his pelvic/groin area. And if you would touch it, it would bother him. I showed my mom and my dad, and we decided to take him to ER. Doctors removed the lymph node that night. (Felisha Jorgenson): They reviewed it, found abnormal cells in the lymph node. They wanted a second opinion, so they sent it to Mayo in Minnesota. Less than a week later, Felisha Jorgenson got the call. She needed to bring Aiden to St. Pauls Fairview Hospital right away. (Myron Jorgenson): They asked if we could be there the next day. I said yes. Grandpa Myron works at Dakota Gasification Company. In the first two days at the hospital, Aiden had two surgeries. Five days later, Aiden had his first chemo treatment. The next day, the family was on their way back to Bismarck. (Myron Jorgenson): Its been a long, long week so far. Aiden has LCH – Langerhans cell histiocytosis. (Felisha Jorgenson): They treat it with chemo, but they still dont consider it cancer. Aiden will need chemo treatments every week for the next three months and then every three weeks until a year from now. (Myron Jorgenson): You just get mad at everything. Trying to figure out why. Its just not fair, to be hit in an innocent little child that hasnt done nothing to the world yet. (Felisha Jorgenson): My mom and dad say hes gonna be …
