‘It means the world to us.’ Clemson athletes shave heads for kids with cancer

Myleigh McDowell enjoys seeing people who have their heads shaved the same way she does.

The seven-year-old, who was diagnosed with cancer in February, shaved her mom Jessica’s head in March “to make her look like me.”

“I didn’t want her to feel like she was going through it alone, so, as much as I could go through it with her, I’m willing to do that so she doesn’t feel like she’s the only one going through it by herself,” Jessica explained. “I want her to feel confident and comfortable with her hair. At the beginning, she wasn’t comfortable, but now she is rocking that head.
