Slow but Sure

We are slowly raising money for the Relay for Life.  I keep hearing students and adults say they don't want me to shave my head.  They are worried about what I will look like.  I keep telling them "I don't care about that".  I do care about the people around me who are dying of cancer (Sheree Beene), those who have survived at least one bout with cancer (my sister) and those of whom I know that are dying of cancer and nothing can be done (my sweet mother).

Please help us fight this monster that seems to be reaching out it's ugly hands and grabbing more and more people I love.

How can you help?  If you know students who attend Corinth High School, give them a dollar to donate.  If you are near Corinth High School at 1310 Harper Rd. drop by and give a donation and/or Bancorp South Branch Bank at the corner of Hwy 72 and Harper Rd. just drive through and give a dollar to Lori Moore.  She is the tell who is coordinating our efforts.

Please help.  We have got to defeat this monster.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Just a Start

We have only been in school since August 8, 2013 but the students have already raised a $1000.00 for the Relay for Life fund.  I have challenged them to raise $10,000.00 by the end of school and I will have my head shaved at an assembly before the entire student body. 

Since then our Principal Russ Elam and Coach Rob Scarborough have committed to also shave theirs if they raise the money. 

Please help us raise this money.  My mother was recently diagnosed with cancer.  By the time we found it the cancer had spread from her breasts to her brain and back.  My sister Brenda had to have a mastectomy last year and my father Frances Shinaberry died of a malignant brain tumor. 

Some of my grandchildren are mortified that I would have my head shaved but I keep reminding them and my students that life is not all about ourselves.  We were put here by God to do for others and this is my way of contributing to the fight against cancer. 

Any donation is greatly appreciated.
