Former US President George H.W. Bush has shaved his head in solidarity with a 2-year-old son of a member of his security detail, who has lost his hair during treatment for leukemia.
According to a press release from the Bush's spokesman, the 41st president took up the razor this week to join several members of his Secret Service detail, who had shaved their heads in support of a young boy named Patrick, the Politico reported.
Patrick, whose father Jon is a member of the Bush Protective Division, is diagnosed with leukemia and had started losing his hair, prompting the action.
The Bush Protective Division has also launched a website, as well as other benefits, to assist with the boy's medical bills.
The press release noted that Bush and his wife Barbara, who lost their second child at the age of four to leukemia 60 years ago, also made a donation to Patrick's website.
