Huntington Woods Boy's Long Hair Earns Jeers, Cheers

The 7-year-old says teasing won't stop him from growing his hair to donate to kids with cancer, WDIV reports.

A Huntington Woods 7-year-old boy is enduring stares, mistakes and even taunting over his long hair – but it's all for a good cause.

WDIV reports that Hugo Brodsky started growing his hair two years ago and now it's getting so long he is often mistaken for being a girl.

At first Hugo said he just wanted long hair, but then was then inspired by his mom, Sheri, to donate his hair to kids who have cancer.
