Some students and teachers at Howell High School turned to scissors and a razor to raise money to combat children's cancer.
With a snip and shave, students are taking a stand against cancer.
"I volunteered to come forward and raise money and cut off my hair," said Shannon Schultz.
Shannon Schultz and Edana Kelly have been friends for six years. When they heard about a fundraiser at their school for childhood cancer, they knew they had to take part.
Each have their own reasons.
"When I was 13 I was diagnosed with cancer so I battled that and I've been two years good now. So that's good news but it's a big personal thing and I thought if anyone could do it I could," said Schultz, a Howell High School senior.
"Last June my little cousin was diagnosed with cancer and the one that's really close to me my grandma was diagnosed with cancer," said Kelly, also a Howell High School Senior.
Together they held hands and watched their hair fall to the floor. @
The girls said they're not worried about losing their hair. They say it's worth it to spread awareness of cancer and raise money to help find a cure.
Six other people also worked to raise money and shave their heads Friday too. The students original goal was to raise $1,000, but they surpassed that. As of Friday afternoon about $5,800 had been donated.
All money will go to Saint Baldricks for childhood cancer research and awareness.
