Good News Friday: Supporting Patrick

Patrick is two-years-old and suffers from leukemia. Recently, the boy lost all his hair due to the disease and treatments.

Patrick’s father, Jon, decided he would shave his head in solidarity with his son, and then asked his co-workers to do the same.

And they did.



The thing is that Patrick’s father works for the Secret Service as part of the security detail that protects former President George H.W. Bush.

And the elder Bush decided he, too, would go bald in support of Patrick.



George HW Bush also helped launch www.patrickspals.org which helps raise money for Patrick's treatment.

Very, very cool.

  1. I have always liked GHWB and his wife; they have done some worthwhile good here and abroad, such as this story points out. GHWB's guvmint policies, OTOH, not so good.

  2. Very sweet story.
    (I had not realized that HW & Barbara had a young child that died from the disease.)

  3. Same here, I've always liked George and Barbara Bush too, especially Barbara Bush. George did a good thing here. By the way, he has a fifteen man Secret Service detail?
