101-Year-Old Woman Rappels Down Skyscrapers for Charity (WATCH)
At more than a hundred years old, this woman isn't afraid of rappelling down a 500 foot tower to raise money for her favorite charity.
An Iowa barber encouraged reading by kids when he offered free haircuts if they would read him a story while they sat in his chair.
It's a deal you can't beat — an Iowa barber traded free haircuts to kids if they would read to him while in his chair.
Courtney Holmes says he wanted to help kids read more — and because of that, he got an earful about proper nutrition from 9-year-old customer Tayshawn Kirby reading a book called "Fats, Oils and Sweets."
Businesses, churches, and non-profit groups pitched in for Dubuque's annual Back to School Bash, which included more than 100 people learning about before-and-after-school resources for kids and their parents.
Holmes the barber also got something out of it — the satisfaction of helping kids read, and the insight from Tayshawn that the average person eats 150 pounds of sugar every year.
