Q: Why did you decide start the St. Baldricks committee?

Q: What is your favorite thing about St. Baldricks?

A: The fact that I’m spreading awareness, that people that didn’t know cancer was a big deal or so wide spread. They realise how much cancer does affect people and how connected people are through this one thing.

Q: What are you doing in the club right now?

A: We are selling shirts and wristbands and getting ready for the actual event. We are deciding what groups we are going to have perform during the assembly. [We are also] getting ready for the talent show and trying to set up auditions.
