Nori Wentworth raised more than $6,000 for the renal ward

Bye, bye beardie!

Nori Wentworth says heѻýs feeling a little naked now that the 18-month-old beard is gone.

ѻýI feel very young and a little bit cooler actually.ѻý

Wentworth fundraised for the renal ward at Kelowna General Hospital as a thank-you for the support staff provided while his wife was in treatment and awaiting a new kidney.

The goal was to raise over $5,000 and the entire beard would come off.

ѻýBefore I hopped up on stage we were at $6,600 between the and cash donations.ѻý

Wentworth took a seat on stage at Barn Owl Brewing on Sunday shortly before 5 p.m. where a Tommy Gunѻýs barber made the beard disappear.

Wentworth says Barn Owl also fundraised through a raffle.

ѻýI was born and raised here and Iѻýve always known that Kelowna is very [community oriented]ѻý When push comes to shove people always come together here.ѻý

As for his wife Kristyn, she says the shave is bitter-sweet.

ѻýItѻýs weird to see that clean of a shaven face,ѻý Kristyn said, followed by, ѻýYou look so weird, Nori.ѻý
