Maine Boy Brings Dump Truck Full of Cans [VIDEOS]

When Bryce Deshaies knew the Cans for a Cure was happening in just three weeks, he didn't waste any time. With the help of his family and friends, the 8-year-old Parsonsfield, Maine boy collected 205 bags of bottles and cans.

He and his family arrived at the Maine Mall with a dumptruck and trailer in tow to donate more than 20,000 cans and bottles along with $600 that he raised over the past year for the Q's annual campaign.

Bryce's friend, 2-year-old Jocelyn Day of Parsonsfield, donated $20 with her mother, Danielle Day because she wanted to help his cause. When asked why her son devoted so much time and effort to supporting Cans for the Cure, Katie Deshaies said she told her son five years ago that she wanted him to support the charity of his choice.

As a loyal Q listener, Katie said she learned about the Cans for the Cure and decided this would be a good choice for her son. "There are lots of people in the community who have been touched by breast cancer," Katie said.

Bob Marley also donated two bags of cans at about the same time that Bryce made his whopping donation, but Bryce was clearly the man, or the boy, of the hour. As of 6 p.m. on Wednesday, a total of 199,164 cans had been collected. Here's what he has to say during his interview with Lori:

Q Morning Show hosts Jeff Parsons, Lori Voornas and Meredith Manning are platooned with an RV and tent with all of their live broadcast equipment. There is also no time limit on when they can reach their 500,000 can goal that will be turned into $25,000 in cash and donated to the Maine Cancer Foundation and Cancer Community Center. Georgia Jenkins, a spokesperson for the South Portland-based Cancer Community Center, said the Cans for a Cure campaign helps them raise a good portion of their annual $500,000 budget.

The money raised from this campaign will be used to pay for programs and classes at the non-profit center which help people who are battling breast cancer as well as their loved ones, Jenkins said.
