Participants, such as Orlando Health President Justin Williams, doctors, staff, and UCF athletes, proudly shaved their heads to support Childhood Cancer and Sickle Cell Awareness Month. <\/p>\n

\u201cFor children with cancer, losing their hair during treatment is often a visible reminder of the difficult journey they are facing,\u201d Williams said. <\/p>\n

The organization also presented a donation to the St. Baldrick\u2019s Childhood Cancer Research Foundation to fund ongoing pediatric medical research.<\/p>\n

Williams continues, \u201cBy choosing to shave our heads today, we hope to honor their bravery and spread awareness about the need for continued investment in pediatric cancer research.\u201d<\/p>\n
