Hair today, donated tomorrow

Chemotherapy Drip   (PD)
An 8-year-old boy named Christian McPhilamy is living up to the very best of what his first name implies.

After viewing a commercial for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, Christian learned that young cancer patients often lose their hair during treatments.  He became determined to donate his own blonde locks for this worthy cause.

After putting up with teasing and taunting by peers for the next two years, Christian was finally ready for a haircut.  Good Housekeeping reports that his dedication produced four long ponytails for the children at St. Jude’s.

Christian's mom, Deeana Thomas, stated:  Christian has such a huge heart.  I don’t even know if there are words to describe…

There are:  faith, hope, charity.
