mfiscus[TK] Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 Just completed my first troop event at The 14th Annual St. Baldrick's Shave-A-Thon in Livonia, MI on Sunday, Sept 22d, 2024 There were approximately 300 people who passed through while I was there. The event has raised over $101k for childhood specific cancer research, not sure how much more came in for the day. https://www.stbaldricks.org/events/metrodetroitbaldricks2024 My volunteer page is here: https://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/tk18635 I will be changing the strapping on the side shims and shaving a little off the forearm for comfort. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfiscus[TK] Posted September 23 Author Report Share Posted September 23 Fortunately my wife was there to help me get changed in the parking lot and avoid dangerous stairs. I now fully understand the value of secure charging rooms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 Nice work on your first troop, you may want to secure your drop boxes and align to the end of the plastic belt as they can catch when loose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orrin15317[TK] Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 Congratz on troop number 1! I would definitely have been nervous to go solo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfiscus[TK] Posted September 27 Author Report Share Posted September 27 After seeing Michael Rose do a solo event back in May, I felt I might as well jump in to the deep end of the pool. Signed up for another troop this weekend with some seasoned pros, will feel a lot easier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
