“NOT
ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES….. But mine did. On the occasion of National Cancer Day on 7th November, I would like to share something really special,” she wrote.
“Ryan
felt heartbroken seeing several folks who were undergoing chemo for cancer.
With everything they go through, they lose their hair. My son took a call of
donating his hair to the Cancer Society. We as parents were thrilled with his
decision,” she added.

revealed that Ryan did not get a haircut for almost two years as he wanted to
help those suffering from cancer. “As per guidelines, it took him almost 2
years to grow the required length of hair. And this was the final step. Here we
are today standing proud. @drneneofficial,” she wrote, tagging her
husband Dr. Shriram Nene
