The countdown is on for twelve-year-old Shelby Fenton.
The Grade 7 St. Tim's student is braving the barber and shaving her lid for kid's cancer on March 15.
"I heard about Shave your Lid for a Kid on the radio and I thought about it for a few hours and decided I would do it, because if I ended up with cancer it would be nice if people thought about me," said Shelby, who as three younger siblings.
"It was all her idea," laughed mom Valentina, who has spearheaded fundraising thousands of dollars for the Calgary NICU over the last several years. "We try to foster that thankful and empathetic heart."
With a goal of $2000, Shelby has raised nearly half of her fundraising goal and is starting to get "a little nervous" about the looming lop of her locks.
