Yesterday, Syracuse.com's Chris Carlson wrote about the unfortunate turn of events that prevented Syracuse Orange QB Zack Mahoney from raising money to fight a rare form of brain cancer.
Basically, Mahoney was asking fans to make donations, letting the highest donor cut his hair any way they wanted. It was a show of solidarity with seven-year old Lillian Belfield, who's been a big part of Syracuse's annual "Lift for Life" summer event which looks to raise awareness and funds to fight rare diseases. Belfield needed to go through new treatment, and Mahoney was hoping to use this year's Lift for Life as a way to brighten her spirits, show support and raise some awareness and money to help.
