When seven-year-old Olly Spencer saw that there was a boy in his class with no hair because of his cancer treatment, he wanted to do something to make him feel less alone. So when he got home from school that night, he asked his mum if he could shave his head in support of his classmate Tommy-Lee Hetherington.
The kind-hearted pupil said, “When I saw Tommy-Lee have no hair, it made me feel sad and I didn’t want him to be alone. I wanted to help Tommy-Lee as he had cancer and I wanted the cancer to go away. ” Olly said, “I raised money for the charity by shaving my head and it supported him and others, so we could both be bald together.” His mum Sally said, “Olly always helps his classmates.”
Tommy-Lee started school in the new term and Olly went out of his way to make sure that he felt welcomed and less alone.
