Russell said after they had collected all the items they drove around the city and dropped them off with whoever they noticed might need them.

 “A little goes a long way,” said Russell when asked what inspired him to get out there and lend a helping hand.

Russell said he donated the $1000 from the Mr Mikes Deeds Well Done campaign to the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan in honour of his grandmother who has been diagnosed with the disease.

“It has impacted my family a lot,” he said. “And I hope the donation helps others in Prince Albert and area who are struggling with this too.”

The Mr Mikes Deeds Well Done initiative helps to recognize those in the community that continue to lend a helping hand.
