George H.W. Bush Shaves Head in Solidarity with Cancer-Stricken Child

Former President George H.W. Bush & Patrick

Former President George H.W. Bush (Bush Senior) shaved his head this week in solidarity with the leukemia-stricken 2-year-old son of a member of his security detail. This is so touching and inspiring. It may seem 'so what', but it goes a long way. Kudos. 

Little Patrick — seen sitting on the smiling former commander in chief's lap — started losing his hair because of his cancer treatment.

Bush, 89, shaved his head after learning that many members of his security detail had done so to support Patrick and his father.
Security detail members also created a website, www.patrickspals.org, to help defray medical costs. They  raised funds with a 50-mile motorcycle ride through Maine, followed by a lunch and silent auction.

“Once President and Mrs. Bush learned of this 'Patrick's Pals' effort, they made a donation and President Bush volunteered to shave his head as well,” the former president’s office said in a statement. “The Bushes lost their 2nd child, Robin, to leukemia 60 years ago this October at the age of 4.”

The photographs were taken July 24 at the Bush's Kennebunkport, Maine, family compound, known as Walker's Point.
