An Albuquerque salon cut hair for a good cause on Sunday.
Joseph’s Salon in Old Town held a cut-a-thon to raise money for Patrick Grange. If the name sounds familiar, it might be because Grange played soccer for the University of New Mexico in 2003 and 2004.
Grange has been diagnosed with the degenerative disease ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. At age 28, he is the youngest in the state to be diagnosed with ALS.
The cut-a-thon was just the latest way that friends are showing their support for him. “Everybody adores him, I’ve never met anybody who has as many friends as he does,” said fundraising organizer Veronica Aragon.
Next month, UNM’s annual alumni soccer game will raise money for Grange. That’s set for April 23rd.

Daylight savings time is coming up this weekend. Don’t forget to set your clocks forward!
Every year, daylight savings time seems to take people by surprise. In the United States, daylight savings time begins on March 13 at 2 a.m. local time except in parts of Arizona and Hawaii. As the popular saying goes, clocks need to "spring forward" to observe the change. In other words, clocks need to be set ahead by one hour when the clock strikes 2 a.m.
