When a seven-year-old girl who loves to play softball and hockey learned that she had stage four cancer, her friends wanted her to know that she wasn't alone in her battle against the disease. After spending two weeks in the hospital receiving chemotherapy, Leighton Accardo decided to shave her head following a boys' baseball game.
Leighton wasn't alone, and had two of her friends and fellow teammates, Emily and Katie, by her side to have their heads shaved as well.
"I'm not scared. My friends are here with me right now," Leighton told AZ Family.
The girls held hands as the barber shaved off their hair.
"Well, I wanted to be supportive of Leighton, and we're really good friends, and I just wanted to help her," Emily said.
Once the barber was done shaving their heads, over a dozen of the boys and their coaches decided to shave their heads in solidarity with Leighton.
