I've written about it before but quite frankly there is no better day to write about St. Baldrick's than today. It was ten years ago that a bunch of reinsurance executives decided to substitute their year Saint Patrick's Day party for a fundraiser for kids with cancer. The rest is history with folks all over the world shaving their heads each year at events that continue to raise money for a worthy cause. Although we haven't ended our battle to eradicate cancer, St. Baldrick's helps to provide some of the funds we need to research a cure. So Happy Saint Patrick's Day and happy 10-year anniversary to St. Baldrick's.
