"To do it for a lot of people who didn't have a choice about whether they lost their hair or not, it really feels good," Lauren Baker told WBZ NewsRadio 1030. "And he looks good! I think he looks younger. I think he looks cute."
The "Saving By Shaving" event is expected to raise over $3 million for the institute.
