Summit Salon Raising Money to Help 11-year-old Cancer Victim

In October, Kohl Angelo's right eye had some broken blood vessels. A month and several specialists later, he was diagnosed with Diffuse Pontine Glioma, a disease that has forced the 11-year-old to deal with double vision, no movement in his right eye, decreased strength on his left side, slurred speech, loss of balance, and two bouts with kidney stones.

Angelo's cancer is rare, there's a 1-in-2-million chance of getting this kind of brain tumor. The soccer player, a triplet and the son of Pete and Kelly Angelo of Maplewood, has been receiving treatment at St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

will hold a fundraiser on Monday and will offer $50 haircuts (shampoo, cut, styling) with all proceeds going to a fund to help the Angelos.

Esperanza salo is located at 32 Maple Street. To schedule an appointment or contribute to the fund, call 598-1000.
