Firefighters are notorious for forming a deep bond with their station mates. When firefighter Kyle Jameson was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, this stereotype was proven true as his entire station came to his support. When Jameson started to lose his hair as a result of the treatments, The Hampton Fire Department in New Hampshire decided to host a community gathering to help him through. Jameson's fellow firefighters did not want him to feel alone in his battle, so they sponsored an event where people from the area could come shave their heads in show of support for Jameson.
"There really are no words to express how I feel. It's unbelievable, and it takes your words away," Jameson told Seacoast Online.
The chief of the fire department said his unit was like a family and that they showed the same amount of support when his wife was diagnosed with cancer. The Hampton FD also sold T-shirts and raffle tickets to a Red Sox game to raise money for Jameson and his family. About 100 people from Hampton and the surrounding communities came out to get their heads shaved and support Jameson. He is currently in remission but is continuing treatments.
