MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WMOT) -- The fight to find a cure for cancer is personal for one Rutherford County Sheriff’s Deputy and he’s issued what he’s calling a “No Hairdo for You” challenge.
RCSO Deputy Brandon Cox has arranged for what he’s calling “Operation Shave” at the Sheriff’s Office Friday. He’s challenged fellow officers, firemen and residents of the county to stop by, have their heads shaved and make a $20 or more donation. Cancer patients routinely lose their hair during treatment.
For Deputy Cox, the search for a cancer cure is personal.
“I just found out that my grandfather has cancer and yesterday was the one year anniversary of me losing my best friend to cancer. So that on top of our friend and co-worker (Sgt. Danny Gaither) here at the Sheriff’s Office also passing away at the end of last month…it’s kinda closer to home for a lot of people here.”
Operation Shave will take place from 3 to 6 p.m. Friday, May 22, at the Sheriff’s Office Gun Range training room. A pair of certified cosmetologists will be on hand to do the honors.
You can contact Deputy Brandon Cox through the Sheriff’s Office if you need more information.
