Cancer patient sells ad space on bald head

David Mise, 20, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in May, placed an item for auction on eBay and was told by eBay to take it down. Because of chemotherapy hair loss, David has decided to sell advertising space on his bald head to the highest bidder. David, the father of a beautiful little boy, is a sheet metal worker who cannot work right now. He is trying to raise money to pay some of his bills.

On David's new eBay auction page it reads:

"DUE TO HAVING TO COMPLY WITH EBAY'S VERY STRICT REGULATIONS AND RULES AND CHARITY REGULATIONS I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT I CANNOT LIST A REASON FOR MY AUCTION AND APOLOGIZE DEEPLY FOR MY LAST BEING PULLED OFF, IT SIMPLY WASN'T MY FAULT BUT I'M STILL HOPING FOR THE BEST AND STILL HAVE MY HEAD UP FOR AUCTION."

I believe the caps, as the statement appears on the eBay auction page, reflects his level of frustration. So there you go. Maybe David cannot tell you why his bald head is available as advertising space -- but we can. The eBay item number is: 330013072811 and the auction runs through Saturday at 5:52 p.m. David ends his eBay auction with Happy Bidding and God Bless. We wish you the best of luck and May God Bless you too.
