Natalia shaves her head for St. Baldrick's "No Hair Don't Care" on March 10, 2018

I shaved my head to raise funds for pediatric cancer research, because I believe no child should have to fight for their life before they've had the chance to fully live one (and to give them a great head of hear while I'm at it! ). I reached $3,390 thanks to the generous donations of friends and family. Our team of 40 fundraisers raised a total of $30,713! It all helps immediately, and one medical student who Dr. Watson (our fearless leader) personally knows, has already signed up for a summer research program funded by the money we raised. We are already helping the next generation of pediatric oncologists. What a huge success, and I know she is the first of many.

Did you know childhood cancer is different from adult cancer and that it is significantly underfunded??? I had no idea until our fearless leader and pediatric oncologist, Dr. Jordan Watson, told me so (she shaved her head too). Recently, my friends' grandson was being treated for childhood cancer in Maria Ferrier's hospital in Westchester, and thankfully he is now in remission. I was moved to tears when I found out about his condition, but then hearing about Jordan's work and this event moved me to action. I signed up almost immediately. Thanks to the St. Baldrick's foundation we're going to heal kids one dollar at a time.

You can donate to them any day of the year. And don't worry about my acting career, I've got wigs haha.
