A 9-year-old Grade 4 student at Red Deer’s Don Campbell Elementary has made her family and school very proud.
Avani James says it was a close family member who inspired her to cut her hair in support of The Terry Fox Foundation.
“One of my aunties had thyroid cancer when she was 16, and she survived it with surgeries and treatments.”
In front of dozens of schoolmates on Thursday, Avani took off about 10 inches from her long, flowing locks. She was joined by Jolynn Krause, an educational assistant at the school who donated her hair for a third time.
