When One Mission founder Ashley Haseotes’ son lost his hair due to cancer treatment, she found herself overwhelmed with worry about how the world would treat him. She braced herself for the stares, the pity, and the awkward comments – because they came.

For her son, Nicholas, though, losing his hair wasn’t a big deal at all. At just seven months old, he didn’t understand what was happening.

For many of the families around them during treatment at Boston Children’s Hospital, hair loss was the BIGGEST challenge they faced, often more difficult than the treatment itself.
