老布什剃光头支持白血病儿童

 

A Secret Service agent in his security detail has a two-year-old son who is losing his hair as a side-effect of treatment for the cancer. 

 

The 89-year-old Republican lost his greying locks earlier this week at his coastal¹ home in the state of Maine, said a spokesman on Wednesday. 

 

Mr Bush acted after he saw other agents in his detail had shaved their heads.

 

A Bush spokesman identified the toddler only as Patrick.

 

Mr Bush and his wife, Barbara, lost their second child, four-year-old Robin², to leukaemia almost 60 years ago.

 

The security detail have launched a website to help pay for Patrick's medical treatment. 

 

Mr Bush, whose son is former President George W Bush, was only himself released from hospital in January, two months after his admission for a bronchitis-related cough.

 

He was the 41st US president, and served one term in office, from 1989-1993.
