Shave to Save: Supporting Cancer Fighters

0:00This Friday, Kansas City's shave-to-save event goes down, raising funds for the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge. News anchors Lindsey Shiveley and Taylor Hemness are stepping up as MCs. The Lodge hooks up free stays for cancer patients and their caregivers traveling in for treatment. Over the years, it's pulled in millions through bold head-shaving moments on stage, showing real solidarity. Take one fighter from Columbia, Missouri. She's been crashing their almost three months, battling a rare leukemia. She misses her grandkids big time, hasn't seen them since January, but leans on family caregivers and fellow guests for that daily lift. The senior director there stresses it's all about creating a home base, whether for quick nights or long hauls, so no one battles alone. Past station vets like Gary Lizzak and Kevin Holmes jumped in before, keeping the momentum. Silent auctions live online now, bid early if you want to contribute before Friday hits. Events like this remind us support turns the tide in these fights.
