Have you ever had a cold that you felt just wouldn't go away?  Maybe it lasted a week and you didn't feel like doing anything for 3 of those days? Alex,  the 14 year old brother of Emma who I carpool to school with, had been feeling ten times this pain for two years! He had cancer.  Rather than just saying "I'm sorry...are you okay?" I wanted to do something more.  So I started a charity called Shred Kids' Cancer to do more for kids who are suffering from the painful disease cancer.

My name is Teagan Stedman and I am a  10 year old boy who started Shred Kids' Cancer last year. My friend Alex is doing just great now having ended all of his Chemo treatments.  Unfortunately there are a lot of other kids out there who are still fighting for their lives and we want to help them. 

Shred Kids' Cancer is a charity that lets kids try and do something for these other kids who are suffering.  Its a way to make the kids who have cancer know that we are here for them and show them we care and give them strength. 

Last year we had a huge success at our first battle of the kids bands fundraiser we called The Shredfest which was held at The Roxy on Sunset Boulevard, CA.  All of the money we raised went to Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation and  Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA. 

This year we hope to go big or go home! We are holding SHREDFEST VOLUME 2 at The House of Blues on Sunset Strip APRIL 24, 2010!

We hope to have 10 kids bands sign up to battle and top it off with Celebrity Muisicians as judges and even headliners!

Once again, we have the amazing support of Rock Nation school where I take guitar lessons.  They are extremely nice to help with coordinating the fund raiser!! 

Want to help? There are lots of ways:

Kids: Thanks to all the kids bands who signed up.  Please get your friends to come and/or get items donated to be raffled off.

Grown ups:We need your help too!!!Your business can become a sponsor for Shredfest Volume 2 or you can donate an item to be raffled off at the Shredfest Volume 2 show. 

Celebrity Musicians: Your participation in any way is a huge draw and can help us show these kids they truly deserve it!!
