While philanthropists have been donating locks of hair to cancer patients for years, Gary Risler plans to trim the other side of his head to fight cancer.
The Farmer City man is raffling off the rights to shave the beard he's sported for 18 years.
That makes his beard older than Risler's youngest son, who has never seen all of his dad's face. Risler says even his oldest son hasn't seen his bare chin since he was 4 years old.
Risler hopes the July 12th fundraiser will bring in $1,000 for his friend Kathy Wain, who is battling cancer.
Risler says Wain was one of the first people he met when he moved to Farmer City 30 years ago. |
