Little Boy Endures Taunts and Teasing to Grow Hair for Sick Kids

No matter what anybody said, no matter how much they laughed, pointed and called him a girl, 8 year old Christian stuck with his goal of growing enough hair to give away.

He got the idea when he was six, after learning that human hair could be used to make wigs for sick children. His mom Deeanna, posted the story on her Facebook page. This is what she wrote

"2 years ago my son saw a St. Jude commercial that changed his life forever. He chose to do his own research and find a way to help. After 2 years of growing his hair, Christian has reached his goal of donating over 10 inches in 4 ponytails. He has chosen to donate to the "Children with Hair Loss" foundation. He has endured an awful lot of criticism, and yes even bullying, throughout this time. From his peers calling him a girl to even coaches and family friends telling him he should cut it or offering him money to. Even still, he has never once, strayed from his goal and always took the time to educate others on why he made the choice to grow his hair. I am one proud mommy as always."

Here he is getting ready for the big cut!

Two years of hair growing is ready to be sent off to kids who can use it.

And here we have the old Christian back.

Way to Go Christian!

You know, I am really surprised we didn't hear about Christian's school making him choose between staying in school or cutting his hair.  Way to go School!
