Dawson Mumby raises $15,040 in honor of his grandfather

When Dawson Mumby’s grandfather, Grant Mumby, started his battle with esophageal cancer, he began to lose his hair. Dawson said he would grow his hair long for his grandfather, “Grandpa had really nice hair, I told Grandpa that I would grow my hair and he could have mine so he wouldn’t have to worry about missing his full head of white hair if it fell out during chemo.”
But as Dawson’s hair grew so did his grandfather’s cancer, which he sadly passed away from in June 2020. 10-year-old Dawson turned the special memory into a fundraiser to honor his grandfather, and one that will help everyone in our community who is battling cancer.
This week, Dawson handed over a cheque for $15,040 to the BGHF from his fundraising efforts. All money will support the Dr. Douglas A. MacIntosh Cancer Clinic at BGH. Way to go Dawson!
