VIDEO: Chief Shaves 'Stache To Help Kids With Cancer
Members of the Portsmouth Fire Department raised money for The St. Baldrick's Foundation, a charity that raises money to help children with cancer.
It's official. Portsmouth's Fire Chief Jeffrey P. Lynch has said  for a good cause.Â
Lynch recently agreed to shave his 'stache if his team collected $1,000 for the St. Baldrick's Foundation, a volunteer-driven charity which raises money to fund research to find cures for childhood cancers.Â
"I've never even seen him without his mustache," said Lynch's daughter, Brittany.Â
