Dearest Deer Lake

Mackenzie Bingle decided he wanted to grow his hair out and shave his MASSIVE “caucasian ‘fro” to benefit people with cancer. He and his father, Perry, contacted us in March with fantastic plans already in place.  

Mackenzie was organizing the Shave at his school, Elwood Regional High School, and inviting the community to get involved as well. On April 15, 15 Shavers (8 students and 7 members of the public) got a little bit balder. At the end of the day, they were $77 shy of $5,000. Mackenzie said, “One of my friends went to his uncle and said we need $77 and he gave $100 so were over $5,000!” As of press time, the Bingle’s efforts in Deer Lake have resulted in $5,579 for Young Adult Cancer Canada!
