Moore's aunt Amber shared before and after photos of his transformation on Twitter, and her tweet has been liked over 113,000 times and retweeted over 57,000 times as of this writing.
According to an NBC profile, Moore's project started about two years ago when he noticed his mother watching a video about a 5-year-old losing her hair due to chemotherapy. The video's subject was Kyssi Andrews, who sadly passed away last year.
Learning about chemotherapy and that it affected children inspired Moore to grow his hair out – all the way to his tailbone.
Moore's mom Angilea Pulos (a.k.a. Socue Soflien) expressed her pride on Facebook. "Myyyy baby! I'm so proud of him!" she wrote. "He's breathing all hard and smiling so BIG right now!!!"
Pulos also shared with Mashablethat retired NBA player Derek Anderson's foundation Acts of Kindness, which is part the Stamina Organization, is bestowing an Acts of Kindness award on Moore. He will be presented with the award on October 14th at a gala at the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Kentucky.
Moore donated enough hair to make three wigs, Pulos told Mashable. Each ponytails clocked in at 16 inches.
The internet looks forward to seeing your generosity again in another two years, Thomas.
