Long blond hair and an angelic face. She looks like a girl but she is an 8 year old boy with a big heart. Her name is Christian McPhilamy and for over two years he has chosen to grow his hair even at the cost of being laughed at, to donate it to little cancer patients.
A truly moving story that of Christian who lives in Florida with his parents. Two and a half years ago the little boy watching TV was struck by a commercial from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital that changed his life forever, like he said her mother.
He understood then that there are children who are much less fortunate and that due to serious illnesses and equally serious treatments they lose their hair. One thing that really touched him deeply. He has long sought a way to help his peers.
And that's how one day she decided to grow her hair to donate four 10-inch long strands, about 25 centimeters, for the wigs that other children would wear.
After 2 years, Christian has achieved his goal and donated the four tufts collected in as many ponytails to the foundation Children With Hair Loss. His comrades made fun of him, he was also bullied. Many laughed at him by telling him that he looked like a little girl.
Teachers and some family friends also often invited him to cut his hair. But never once has Christian lost sight of his goal and has always stood up to those who tried to discredit his little help.
“I'm a proud mom,” said Deeanna Thomas.
A simple but very strong gesture, which can only come from the clean soul of a child.
