Vinny Desautels, boy who donated hair to kids with cancer, now has cancer
Vinny Desautels, a 7-year-old Californian boy, who donated his hair to children with cancer last month, is now fighting the same battle, Azvision.az reports citing the Washington Post.
The second-grader had grown out his hair so he could give it to Wigs For Kids, a program that helps children with cancer who have lost their hair.

“Even though he was teased throughout the 2 years of growing his hair out, it didn’t deter him from his mission … to help a child in need,” said Vinny’s grandparents on a GoFundMe page for the boy.

It all began when Vinny came home from school one day complaining about knee pain. His parents then noticed a lump on his right hip and took him to the emergency room. X-rays found a tumor in a pelvic bone.
