Stepping Up: A Bald Hope in the Fight Against Childhood Cancer

NC Deep Dive

Every community has its heroes, and today, I'm honored to sit with one of Wake County's very own, Justin Crawford. An entrepreneur who's taken his expertise from the finance world to foster healthier living environments through Green Home Solutions, Justin's story is one of determination, family values, and unmistakable community spirit. Our conversation traverses his transition from investment banking to prioritizing indoor air quality. We celebrate his profound sense of local engagement and involvement in everything from the Fuquay Varina Downtown Association to festive occasions that bind the community, while considering the larger fabric of support that enriches family life and community charm.
Tune in as we dive into Justin's latest endeavors to fund childhood cancer research and bring the community together, yet again. He's stepping up to shave his head for the St. Baldrick's Foundation at an event at Fainting Goat in Fuquay Varina on Sunday, March 24th from 1-6 PM and is ready to rock the Guy Fieri look in the meantime for the St. Patrick's Day parade in Raleigh if his goal is met. We shed light on the immense value of the foundations funding much needed research for new medications and maybe even a cure as well as our local organizations that provide comfort and joy to children enduring major medical treatments, illuminating the powerful impact of individual contributions, whether they're monetary, in-kind, or simply the act of showing up.
Wrapping up our heartfelt dialogue, it's not just about getting to know the man behind Green Home Solutions; it's about recognizing the resilience and strength that emerges when we rally together for the common good. Through this episode, you'll not only gain insight into the invaluable work done by local organizations for children with serious illnesses but also leave with a reminder of the remarkable changes we can effect, simply by being there for one another. From my own experience through my daughter's journey to those touched by these organizations, one fundamental truth shines through: every ounce of support counts. Might you be willing to help?
