Son Battles Tears To Shave Head In Solidarity With Cancer Suffering Stepdad

A family has shared a powerful video of their six-year-old son battling through tears to shave his head in solidarity with his stepdad’s brain cancer fight. In the emotional footage, Maxwell Payne can be seen fighting back tears as his mother, Amber Jackson, from Mesa, Arizona, starts shaving his hair. Maxwell asked his mom to do so because he wanted to be like his stepfather, Tim Jackson, 44, who is currently undergoing treatment for glioblastoma. Tim was diagnosed with the aggressive form of brain cancer in February 2021, after he had a seizure at work. Currently, Tim is receiving chemo five days out of the month and wears an optune device, which requires Amber, 32, to shave his head every few days. Having seen his stepfather having to go through this, Maxwell kept saying, 'If dad shaves his head then I want to shave mine, too.' Eventually mom Amber succumbed to her son's requests, and on December 28, while visiting family in South Carolina for Christmas, Amber opted to shave Maxwell's head, too.
