Father and son will shave heads together to raise money for pediatric cancer research

Kelsey Bar, Neighbor

Father and son Jim and Jake Ricciardi (in above photo) have pledged to shave their heads to raise money for One Mission, a local non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing support for children and families touched by pediatric cancer.

Jim is participating because he is a cancer survivor himself, and Jake is participating to support his father and others who are suffering from cancer. Together, they will join 1,000 other brave participants, including everyone’s favorite New England tight end, Rob Gronkowski on June 8th at Gillette Stadium.
