Childhood cancer strikes more than children alone, it attacks whole families at once. The foundation that helps fight childhood cancer and the families affected needs our help and support.

As Childhood Cancer Advocates, we are united in our desire of health for all children with cancer, but they cannot fight it on their own. We are inspired by our heroes and want to end childhood cancer, because their fight is our fight.

I am part of the St. Baldrick's "Conquer Childhood Cancers" organization because I want to support the critical research they advance all over the World. When you send support to St.Baldrick's, you help more than 377 institutions that treat children in 30 countries.

Seeing a child fight cancer changes you forever. We are endlessly inspired by the strength, resilience and joy these heroes demonstrate. But no child should have to fight it or surrender their lives to it.

I am shaving my head to raise money for childhood research and I am not doing it alone. I am one of 25 participants in an event organised by Jeff, the father of Jacob and Sandra, great-aunt to Mighty Max.

Our team is a diverse group of kids, teenagers, parents, colleagues, family and friends.

We all are having our heads shaved to raise money and awareness for the good cause that is the St. Baldrick's Foundation.

On September, 26th, you will be able to follow live online how we all are getting our heads shaved. During the event there will be families sharing their stories with us.

We want to raise $50.000 this year. Help me to reach this goal.

It contained over 300 keywords, some of them I totally did not know why they would be added to my profile, some clearly wrong (Loud Orange Face was in there too) - so I started curating the list. The UX of this page is terrible.

In my case, there are over 300 checkboxes in a long list and there is no way to go through the process of unchecking the boxes easily because on EVERY click a POST request is sent to Twitter, which creates a brief moment where the user needs to wait before they can click on the next checkbox.

So obviously when a lot of people do this at the same time, especially now after watching the Social Dilemma documentary, clearly this page was not designed with that kind of traffic and server load in mind.

Was it done deliberately to discourage people to maintain this list? After 10 clicks or so the server is responding with error 503 ("Service Unavailable" or "over capacity") and none of the changes you make to the list is actually stored. I only noticed this after a reload. Yes, you can happily click further ignoring the error toast notification, but none of your changes will be saved.

This smells like a dark pattern, doesn't it?
