ValleyRD Mailing List: St. Baldrick Event in Iraq

[Wayne Chapman (waynechapman28]

As you know we are planning a St. Baldricks event next February at Texas Trails.  A similiar event took place in Iraq recently.

In case you miss it on CNN yesterday (Monday-5-19-08) you may pull it up on your computer!  It?s the story of a pediatric oncologist who was going to shave his head for St. Baldrick?s at the event in Bethesda, Maryland (he?s a doctor at Walter Reed Army Hospital), but then was deployed to Iraq ? So he organized an event there in Iraq with his fellow soldiers.  CNN filmed the event in Iraq and also went to the Bethesda event where they showed a video of the Iraq event.
