Video: Going bald for a good cause

Adah Davis, 7, reacts to watching her father, Palmer farmer Alex Davis, have his head and beard shaved by barber Scott Theis in the Mall at Sears on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015, to commemorate the birthday of his infant son Gideon, who died three years ago from a rare pediatric cancer. Davis will host a head shaving fundraising event in the mall on April 15 to benefit the St. Baldrick's Foundation, which raises money for childhood cancer research. Davis said, "every three minutes, a child is diagnosed with pediatric cancer."
