Liann Dennis got the same haircut her daughter received in 2016 _ not for the same reason but filled with similar emotion.
Dennis, 45, of Centereach, N.Y., was getting her head shaved along with four other women to raise money to support childhood cancer research at the Centereach Fire Department's annual St. Baldrick's Day fundraiser on March 22.
The moment was particularly sentimental for Dennis because the woman who shaved her head, St. Baldrick's volunteer Annette Werner, was the same person who shaved her 16-year-old daughter Rachel's head in 2016, after she was diagnosed with stage 3 bone cancer and knew the treatment would cause her to lose her hair. This year marks the first time Liann Dennis completely got her head shaved for St. Baldrick's Day.
