Some local students are doing something special for their classmate who was recently diagnosed with Leukemia. While 14-year-old Andre Colletti receives treatment at St. Jude's hospital in Memphis, his buddies at Corpus Christi Catholic School in West Mobile want him to know they're thinking about him. Since Andre has to go through Chemotherapy and lose his hair, his friends decided to shave their heads. We spoke to Andre on the phone. He says the support is already lifting his spirits, "it lifts my spirits a lot to know that I have friends that support me that much," said Colletti. Andre's mom tells us his treatment is going well, but he still has a long road ahead of him. She says all the prayers and support keeps them going.
