Six New York boys put up with their classmates’ crude humor and mockery.

Nobody was aware of the true motivation behind the six children’s decision to simultaneously let their hair grow out that long. Even their parents were unaware of the reasoning behind their choice. Despite their youth, they had a very compelling reason.

They had a close family friend who was their age, and they were quite proud of him. This friend had passed away from cancer. They clearly recalled that their friend had lost his hair before his passing as a result of cancer treatment. They were really saddened by the loss of their buddy and decided to do something to help the young children who are impacted by this dreadful illness and endure hair loss.
