Unfazed by a close shave

Unfazed by a close shave

Members of the Lindbergh High School football team and the Green Machine spirit club, along with family and friends, rallied around junior Jake Franzel Saturday by shaving their heads during a fundraiser for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation at Helen Fitzgerald’s in Sunset Hills. Jake, son of Kennerly Elementary School music teacher Mike Franzel, is battling osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. Roughly 40 Lindbergh students and head football coach Tom Beauchamp had their heads shaved during the event to raise money for childhood cancer research. Pictured, from left, are: Ryan Birmingham; Jake’s mother, Sue; Jan McDonald, Eric Miner and Todd Good. About $7,800 was raised.
