KANSAS CITY, Mo. —  On Friday afternoon, 250 girls at St. Teresa’s Academy plan to cut off their hair and donate it to be made into wigs for cancer patients.

The event is part of ‘Mission Week’ at the school and was organized in support of their principal who is now fighting breast cancer.

To learn more and see the maturity and generosity of these girls, watch the video in the player above.  FOX 4’s Loren Halifax spoke to two best friends, Madi Winfield, who has been battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Mackenzie O’Guin. They both will have the honor of holding the scissors and performing the haircuts cuts!
