Welcome to My Personal Page
My name is Sukesh Sukumaran and I am the Pediatric Rheumatologist at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. I am raising money for Arkansas Children’s Hospital’s Hematology/Oncology Department, where children with various cancers and blood disorders are treated. My fundraising goal is $5000, and if I reach my goal, I will shave my head and mustache. Shaving my head is extremely meaningful because I treat children with auto immune diseases requiring chemotherapy that can lead to hair loss. Every day I see how having no hair affects these children. In my work at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, I have come to know and love many children who have lost their hair, either because of cancer treatments or because of autoimmune conditions.
When you donate, you have a direct impact on these children and their families. The money donated will buy basic toiletries, food during the hospital or clinic stay so they have better choices than the typical hospital tray, gas cards to assist with the burden of making multiple trips to and from the hospital, and supplies that make the department feel more like home and less like a hospital room.
Please be generous with your donation and join us at Rebel Kettle on August 10th for the Head Shaving Competition. Many thanks for your support.
