Students shave their heads to support classmate with Leukemia

Students at a Traverse City-area school are going bald in the middle of winter to show support for a friend and fellow student.

15 year old Andrew Elsenheimer was diagnosed with Leukemia and is at the DeVos Childrens Hospital in Grand Rapids. To show their support, several students have shaved their heads.

Drew's mom says he could be back home as early as Monday, and he's eager to get back to school to be with friends.
