Vinny Desautels

Vinny Desautels is a 7 year old boy from Roseville, California.

When he was 5, he decided to donate his hair to cancer victims.

Vinny loves soccer, T-ball, Pokemon and video games.

He started kindergarten when he was 4, making him younger than most of his classmates.

He dreams of being a farmer like his grandfather, who raises cattle in a nearby rural town.

In May 2016, Vinny was diagnosed with cancer.

"It is Stage 4 aggressive cancer," Vinny's father Jason Desautels said.

"What they found is that he has a significant growth on his hip and in the bone around the eye and behind the nose and on the cheek on the right side."

There is a Go Fund Me for Vinny for those who would like to donate.
