The cool weather is having a big impact on a number of heads on Friday. Nebraska Medical Center staff and family and friends of patients decided to get their heads shaved.

Katie Tice was one of them. "I really haven't told my stylist. They'll miss me for a few months."

A salon that featured just one hairstyle.

"It's great to see my son do it," says Dr. Don Coulter. "It's awesome. He had a reverse mohawk."

Doctor Coulter and his son Mason are a little more aerodynamic now as part of a fundraiser for the St. Baldrick's Foundation. It started a decade ago and is the world's largest volunteer fund raising program for childhood cancer

Each story here has a constant.

"Is Daddy losing his hair?" Two-year old Syndi McConnell of Clearwater, Nebraska, brought her family.

"She just had a bone marrow transplant June 5," says Syndi's mom, Heidi.

Leukemia put her here. Her brothers, as a sign of solidarity, shaved their heads.

Reporter: Who's better looking you or your brother, Logan?
Mason McConnell: "Both of us."

"It's awesome," says Heidi. "No one was here last year and this year there's a ton of people."

If you look around the room -- no one could tell the sick ones from the healthy. And that's one of the points being made.

"It will grow back and my sister had cancer," says Katie.

The hair may be gone but the care and compassion clearly evident.

The cash collected on Friday hasn't been counted. $9,000 was raised before the event.
