Grandmother and grandchild give up their hair for pediatric cancer research. Sixth-grader Mahin Goel (right) and grandmother Rita Sanghavi get their heads shaved as Chiaravalle Montessori students raise more than $41,000 this year for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. Mahin led the fund drive and Rita helped find sponsors. Hair has always been important to Rita; her late husband once said her long hair was one of the reasons he married her. As for losing it: “I just wanted to help,” she said. (Photo by Richard Cahan)
