HOLLAND, Mich. (WOOD) - Some staff members at Western Theological Seminary in Holland rallied around one of their colleagues battling cancer.

Dr. J. Todd Billings was diagnosed with a form of blood cancer in September 2012.

More than a dozen members at the seminary shaved their heads and have raised nearly $3,000 so far for cancer research.

Dr. Billings recently went to the hospital unexpectedly, but he was able to watch the Bald Guy and Gal Challenge through Skype.
