Brennaman happy to help children with cancer

CINCINNATI -- It started just over three years ago when Marty Brennaman, somewhat jokingly at first, said he'd shave his head if the Cincinnati Reds' winning streak reached 10 games.

The Reds won their 10th in a row, and Brennaman, whose poofy white hair was one of his most defining physical characteristics, made good on his promise. In doing so, he formed an unexpected bond with a group of young kids who are quite literally in the fight of their lives.

The Dragonfly Foundation has been operating for five years, but thanks to Brennaman's very public outreach to its members, this organization -- which provides comfort to kids, young adults and their families enduring cancer and bone marrow transplants -- is enjoying a little more of a public spotlight.
