Each year, they facilitate dozens of head-shaving events around the country and have funded more than $250 million since they began in 2005. Organizations like St. Baldrick\u2019s exist because only 4% of the entire cancer budget spent by the US Federal Government goes to research pediatric cancer, yet cancer is the #1 disease killer of kids under 19. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This cause is particularly near and dear to the Hess family because 12 year old Keely, daughter of Mike and Lynda Hess, was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a rare form of &nbsp;bone cancer. On August 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, 2018, they became one of the 49 families in the US that day to find out their child had cancer. Nine days later, Keely started the first of what will be 18 rounds of brutal chemotherapy. Over the past 9 months she has undergone 3 major surgeries, including multiple skin grafts and the amputation of her left leg above the knee and even spent 13 days in a coma following one of the surgeries. She has two remaining rounds of chemo and is getting fit for a prosthetic leg.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HucOl-ALYNA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The sad fact is that the treatment for Osteosarcoma and many of the 12 Pediatric Cancer types has not changed in 35 years, due largely to the lack of funding for research.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On May 25<sup>th<\/sup>, Mike Hess Brewing is helping to close the funding gap.
