I Corinthians 15:54-57 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I am proud of you Spencer. You are, and always have been, a great big brother to all your siblings. Tuesday was lucky to have you by her side during her way too short life. She will be looking down on you tomorrow, proud of you & what you are doing – not only for her, but for all the children with cancer.
Good luck tomorrow!! I will be thinking about you & your family…and all those children that will benefit because of YOU!
Good for you Spencer! GO TEAM TUESDAY!!!

I just hugged my boys and donated to Spencer. Great job Spencer!
Thinking of you right now, as you are shaving your head. And I can’t wait to see the pictures of you! Way to go Spencer.
Hi Whitts,
I missed this on your blog, otherwise we would have been part of Team Tuesday. However, I just wanted to let you know that my 10 year old son, Peter, is shaving his head tomorrow in New York in honor of Tuesday. We will definitely be part of Team Tuesday next year, but will have you in our hearts tomorrow anyway.

Isaiah 43:1-3a But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour…

Hello Jessica – I just donated via your paypal since St. Baldrick’s doesn’t have the paypal option. So please donate that amount to Spencer’s cause for team Tuesday for me.
Spencer, I am so proud of you. What you are doing for kids like Tuesday is AWESOME! I have three sons, and I pray they too will grow to have as big of a heart as you do. Thank you so much for opening my eyes a little more today for this great cause.
I linked to your post (I hope that was ok) today on my blog. I want to tell as many people as possible to help you reach your goal of $10,000!!
God Bless you!

II Corinthians 12:8-10 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Romans 5:6-9 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

When I first heard about this from Debi, my husband had already done his shave here in Las Vegas. This is his second year and he wishes he had heard about it sooner. Anyways, what an awesome thing you have done Spencer! When I told my husband that a bunch of schoolkids raised over $10,000, he was astounded! Your message on the webpage “Hi, my name is Spencer…” is short and sweet and packs a powerful punch. It brought tears to my eyes the first time I read it. Awesome job, you all, awesome job!
p.s. Yes, I know there are a couple of adults on the team, too 🙂
