Eighth graders at Berrendo Middle School rallied to help Debbie Cometti after Hodgkin's disease diagnosis turning a fundraiser into a personal mission. In just over a week they raised 1400 dollars to fund a Mayo Clinic trip, and two students shaved their heads in front of peers to show support. Cometti and her husband plan the trip as classmates cheered and presented a piggy bank with 14 one hundred dollar bills. The teacher expressed gratitude amid a room of letters from students, noting that Hodgkin's lymphoma has a high treatable rate today.
