I’m @dizzyjay I’m 25 I’m a father and a gamer. I was 14 when I won the BC community achievement award in 2008. I am/was the youngest ever recipient and they flew me out to a five star hotel. It was fun. I won because I had spent 5 years volunteering at the Canadian cancer societies relay for life. Where I wouldn’t cut my hair all year and each year would shave my head at the relay. I love helping people. I love community. I love my family. Much love!

Hi @dizzyjay! Thank you so much for participating in sharing a bit of your story. That’s pretty amazing that you won such a great community achievement award when you were only 14! That must’ve been such a fun experience, especially because they flew you out and put you up in a nice hotel!
Do you live in BC? I actually have quite a bit of family up there. I live in Bellingham, Washington, but I have family on Vancouver Island, in the greater Vancouver area, and in Kamloops.
Good on you mate I’m participating in this contest but I really do hope you win five years is quite the contribution!
Wow...i admire your commitment to helping people.
You are a young father! I am 24 and cannot imagine have children now. I shave all my hair off ever so often instead of cutting it, but I never did it for charity.
My son just turned 1 Jan 27th and my second is due March 8th :) @bxlphabet also to everybody thanks so much for the kind words!
Yay another Canadian!
I did relay for Life twice. Very rewarding feeling, fundraising and doing the run 😊
That's awesome @dizzyjay! I applaud your hard work. I too was a young dad, my son was born when I was 24. He's now 17 and an incredible kid (@enak). Young dad's make the best dads!
damn did you say you didnt cut you hair all year
waoooo....... i cut mine every other week
how did you cope with that?
may be that why the dedication paid off
I used to love having really long hair. It was out of love that I let them shave it off. In solidarity to my aunt. I have had a severe head injury since then leaving somebody born so nice scars on the top of my head so I no longerever shave it, burn in reference a befor and after pic of me last year around the time when my son was born and a pic from two days ago after a shave.
waoo I now see................ the both pics are lovely you look handsome either way.
