June 04, 2019 • 1 min
Two years ago, Chip Gaines vowed to shave his head on-site at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital if friends and followers were able to help him raise $25,000 in just under a week. The response was overwhelming — in total, $230,000 was raised — and Chip left St. Jude with a lot less hair than he had when he arrived...
When he and his wife Joanna went to Memphis to present them with that money, the kids of St. Jude changed them forever.
In a few weeks, Chip and Jo are going back to visit St. Jude. In an effort to top his previous efforts, Chip is tossing out a challenge and trying to bring as many people in on the fun as he can.
