Zac, a first-grade student, was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer last June. He is undergoing treatment (进行治疗) but still goes to school every day, because at school he can play with Vincent. Five-year-old Vincent found out his best friend was sick, and he wanted to do everything he could to help. He wanted to show his friend that he was always with him.

When he learned Zac would lose his hair from chemotherapy (化疗), Vincent decided to shave his head. When the little boy was asked why he did that, he said, “I want to make Zac feel like he is not the only one without any hair.”

Vincent has also been learning about cancer and raising money for his best friend Zac after learning how expensive his chemotherapy is. He made more than 20 scarves and sold them. He raised more than $200 in total.

Zac’s mum is thankful that her son has such an amazing friend.

When he was asked what friendship was, Vincent looked at his friend Zac and answered, “It’s a beautiful thing.”
