We would like to tell you about an amazing kid we know named Gavin.
Gavin is only nine years old. On Dec.5/18 he created a Facebook Page (Gavin Fights Cancer) and Fundraising Page to raise money for #ChildhoodCancer. It all started three years ago when he started to grow his hair long with the idea to donate it to help make wigs for kids. Since Dec.5/18, when he posted his video on his Facebook Page, he has raised over $4700 (his original goal was $500) and it has been viewe...d over 3,200 times, shared over 50 times and posted onto the Coalbanks Elementary School Facebook page.
Gavin cut his hair on December 19, 2018 and we would like to thank him for being such an inspiration to all of us!
To show your support for Gavin, please consider making a donation to his fundraising page.
