Amazing.

One of the most difficult parts of being diagnosed with cancer can be losing your hair and when you are a child, the process is all the more confusing.

Children use television to shape their idea of the world and Brazilian charity Graacc realized that the lack of bald characters could leave those going through chemotherapy feeling isolated or different so they decided to do something about it. The result is Bald Cartoons, a partnership with several popular cartoon to have characters shave their heads in solidarity with young cancer patients.

This melted our hearts.
