A nine-year-old Champlain Township boy will be trading in his long hair for a shorter cut this summer, as he completes a personal project with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) to help make wigs for cancer patients and raise funds for the hospital.
Nine-year-old William Lémans Dicaire is behind the fundraiser for CHEO.
It will end in mid-July, after which young William will have his shoulder-length hair cut off to make wigs for cancer patients through Hair Donation Ottawa
Williams says he has been his hair grow for over two years,”
He says he will not be going completely bald after his trimming. “I will leave myself a little bit of hair.”
Les Cheveux de William (William’s hair), is a fundraiser set up by William and his parents Frederic Dicaire and Manon Lémans of Champlain Township.
Les Cheveux de William has already raised more than $1,200.
Donors can still contribute to the fundraiser and William and his parents are hoping to raise as much as possible for CHEO.
William’s hair for wigs and fundraising efforts for CHEO William’s were inspired by his uncle Nicholas Dicaire, who has grown out and then cut his hair for cancer patent wigs twice.
Anyone who would like to donate to help William in his quest to support the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario can visit the Les Cheveux de William fundraiser on the CHEO website.
