Young boy donates his hair to charity—after growing it out for two years!
Bravery comes in all shapes and sizes, and for one young boy in Melbourne, Florida, it means standing up, through bullying, to help someone in need.
Amazing kid alert!
Christian McPhilamy, 8, grew out his gorgeous blonde locks for over two years so he could donate his hair to children in need.
He kept growing his, even though, he was often teased.
"Sometimes they would call me a girl," Christian tells Today.com.
“Christian has such a huge heart,” his mom, Deanna Thomas, adds. “I don’t even know if there are words to describe how proud I am of him.”
Christian donated his hair to Children With Hair Loss, a children’s charity in the United States. Go, Christian!
