I couldn't believe this news item when I first saw it, I thougt it was one of your basic hoaxes that youk come across every now and then. But I checked out the St. Balderick's site, and sure enough, there was his photo, and he was listed as one of the doners. So, I'm guessing it probably DID happen, although they don't have any photos of this particular event up o the website (yet). The event supposedly took place March 2nd or 3rd (I think) at O'Neil's Irish Pub in Virginia.
Anyway, this is a before photo of the guy named Rick who pledged to have his head shaved - all three feet of hair - for charity.
