B4C @ GWU (2003)

There are a multitude of reasons for why I buzz, but the one I want to share here is not the reason I started B4C, but it is one of the reasons I continue with it.
Before the first event, I was taking the train from Philadelphia to DC to be at B4C's promotional table at CI (GW's orientation program). Several of the board members, including myself, had pieces of cloth on our backpacks advertising the event. Mine said something like "I'm shaving my head for children with cancer." A woman approached me as we waited for the train and said "thank you." It took me a minute to realize that she was talking about my backpack, and when I did I said something about how nice it was for her to notice and mention it to me. It was only after she walked away that I realized that her head was covered and she had no hair.
It was at this point that I realized what we were doing was going to have a real effect and was really going to change the world.
