On May 28, comedian Snook, exec- utive chef Peter Wedgewood, MP Nick Whalen, Brian Cuff of Whitecap Inter- national Seafood Exporters and Smith himself “put their heads on the line” for the first annual Shave for the Brave Brunch at the YellowBelly Brewery. The Brave Brunch was an event aim- ing to bring the St. John’s community together to cheer on their friends as they sacrificed their pretty locks in support of young adults living with cancer. Smith said he was inspired by the YACC’s commitment and dedication to the cause. “Cancer gets a lot of necessary atten- tion and funding,” he said. “But YACC is filling a void that is meaningful for young adults and their unique issues.” On June 1, YACC will be welcoming 100 young adults from across Canada for their annual Survivor Conference, their biggest program event of the year, which is only possible thanks to the generosity of Shavers like Smith. YACC’s mission is to support young adults as they move through and beyond cancer. To be a “connection to peers, bridge out of isolation and a source of in- spiration”.
