Shaving for Solidarity

Shaving for Solidarity

By Jessica N.

The Jurney’s had their family haircut but not the way they wanted. The family all shaved their heads in support of their son who has bone cancer. He was diagnosed with it on April 27th. About 20 Oberon students, 3 teachers and several Ralston Valley High School also shaved their heads. The family lives in Arvada, Colorado U.S.A. if you want to help you can go to the 1st bank and donate money to the Jacob Jurney fund. The 1st bank is on 8800 Wadsworth Blvd. In Arvada.

Yes!! Way to notice how the community is supporting the Jurney family! My youngest son plays football with the youngest Jurney (Jacob's brother) and it is remarkable to see all the support given to the family this past year. We can be a rallying point of inspiration if we only try.

You know, I got to thinking. You may have made an error. I think the boy's name is Nate, not Jacob. You may want to check this out.
