Twin boys from Red Deer showed their holiday spirit this season by cutting their long hair for the benefit of Kids Cancer Care over the weekend.

Ryan and Alex St Peter, Grade 6 students at St. Thomas Aquinas Middle School, were growing their hair for the past three years.

However, on Saturday, the brothers went to Red Stag Barbershop in Red Deer and had their long hair chopped, with each donating 18 inches of hair for Angel Hair For Kids.

Mom Sarah St Peter says barbers Benji Eccleston and Nicole Charbonneau volunteered their time to cut the boy’s hair, adding the cancer fundraiser netted over $2,700 for Kids Cancer Care – surpassing their $2,000 goal.
