Every weekday in North America, approximately 46 mommas are told their child has cancer. That's 46 lives changed forever. But that's also 46 more women a day who will walk in solidarity with their babies as they take on everything cancer dishes their way, including, for some women, having to go bald.

Every year, mommas from around the country shave their heads as part of the St. Baldrick's Foundation's 46 Mommas Shave for the Brave fundraising campaign. Since 2000, more than 230,000 people have shaved their heads to raise awareness for pediatric cancer. But this isn't just about giving the hair off your head to raise childhood cancer awareness. These incredible women have also made it their annual goal to raise up to $1 million for cancer research.
The entire campaign is truly inspiring. After having flipped through these brave women's pictures, I can honestly say there is nothing more beautiful than a bald mami on a mission to kick cancer's ass. Way to go, mommas!
