Over the past years the event has had anywhere from 6-15 people -whohave been ,involved in : the shave off. In 2003 and 2004 head of the event Trish Scott was also a • participant who shaved her head. Scott would like to see more young people get involved for such a •worthwhile cause this year as cancer has affect- ed so many people in our community. Scott is hoping that there will be at least five or six participants. "As for money I would .like to gee raised -- I don't ever set a goal as 'I believe that every little bit helps no matter how insignificant," said Scott. "1 have been the chairperson for this event since it wasfirst held in May 2003. At that time I worked for the Bank of Montreal and we took on the proj- ect. In the summer of 2000 my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. In September of 2000 he had sur- gery to remove his lung. When I start- ed as chair of this event in 2003 my dad was very sup- portive and helped me greatly. However in the fall of .2003 his cancer- returned 'and he passed. away in January of 2004. I decided then that I: was going to continue as chair perscin of this event as it is a cause that I truly believe : in. Since starting this event in 2003 the partic- ipants ipants in 'L ucknow have raised almost $55,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society." Last year the event in Lucknow raised around $5000. • Cops for . Cancer began in the Bluewater area in 1994. Last year alone the revenue from Cops was $239,376. In the last 12 years: the total raised is over $2 million. So far there is one participant, nine-year-old Josh Scott. He has not cut his hair since last September when he started school. Jessyca Scott has donated hair twice now for wigs. Josh is doing this in memory of his poppa (Doug MacDonald). Scott would like to ,thank all the volunteers that have helped . her since starting this . event. Without the volunteers the event would not be the success that it is.
