Oliver, Bryant,
and Seth shaved their heads in memory of Connor Dixon and to help raise money for children's cancer research. It was great. Seth asked if he could do it Sunday morning. I wasn't sure if he would be able to. But luck was on our side. They were all very excited. Oliver and Bry both reach their goal and raised $300 each. However anything extra is still great. Donations can still be made. Check the post below for directions. You just need to do a search for each of the boys seperately. I am very proud of them. They are already talking about next year. Afterward at our friends house, Seth kept asking "Who wants to rub my head?" Bryant the palest of all the boys really looks like he has been through chemo. Oliver looked like an old man half way through the shave with the top of his head shaved, but the side of his head not shaved. Alex's hair now looks very shaggy.THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU everyone who help the boys meet their goal.
Nice to see you guys doing such a great thing to help others. I did my part and, as asked in your post, made a donation toward one of your boys "shave off" (Bryant, as he was lacking $20 to reach his 100% target).
ReplyDeletePersonal sacrifice, such as shaving your hair, to help others is one of the greatest thing one can do to please the Creator.
What amazing boys! Hopefully Sawyer will grow up to be like the Nelson boys. I will try hard to resist rubbing their heads on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great!! My email is katecupps @ yahoo (for when you decide to go back to private). It's so fun to see pictures of your family. My in-laws moved to Ohio... so we won't be going to NY anymore!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great lesson. Aaron shaved his head and a few of the young men's heads to show support for a member in our ward last year who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Some of the parents whose boys had rather long hair were so grateful!
