Nine-year-old raises over $8,000 for cancer research

By Denis Pike - The Compass

“Christian Legge is on a mission to help fund cancer research.

“It’s a pretty bad disease and I want to help people who have it,” he says.

For the past four years the nine-year-old has been going door-to-door, hosting fundraisers, swimming relays and even shaving his head to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society.

“I don’t mind being bald because it’s for a good cause. Although my head gets cold a lot,” he says.

So far he has raised almost $8,000. His last Shave For The Brave took place in St. John’s a few weeks ago.

The Shave For the Brave event supports young Canadian adults living with cancer. The organizations founder, Geoff Eaton, is also a cancer survivor.”
