Teenage brothers go bald for the seventh time

 "" Copyright 2009 UC Regents.
"" ""

Tino Luigi, 13, and his brother, Jake, 15, have gone bald for the seventh year in a row, as participants in the fundraising St. Baldrick's Foundation head-shaving event that the Keaton Raphael Memorial hosted at UC Davis Cancer Center in March. The boys shaved their heads to celebrate Tino's seventh year of cancer remission since undergoing a new neuroblastoma protocol he received at age 5. Tino's mother, Jean, said, "He is proof of what can happen when new treatments become available. This is our boys' way of saying 'thank you' and getting the word out about just how important it is to give to research."
