RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- A local barbershop hosted a 12-hour haircutting marathon on Saturday to aid community health outreach. Refuge for Men hosted the marathon alongside a block party on Saturday, Nov. 14 to help connect Richmond residents with cancer screening resources, courtesy of VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center. 8News spoke with master barber Dot Reid about why this event is important and the mission it hopes to aid. "It's a month to bring awareness to men's health, and so I use every November as an opportunity to engage the conversation with my clients and their families about their health as well as cancer research," Reid said.
