Holly Christensen, a former oncology nurse, saw how much joy could be brought to young cancer patients and their families when she made a Rapunzel wig out of soft yarn for a friend's daughter undergoing chemotherapy. What began in 2015 as a thoughtful gift has since spun into a national non-profit, the Magic Yarn Project. Volunteers at 10 chapters nationwide transform yarn into character wigs for kids with cancer (or any child dealing with medical hair loss). Correspondent Serena Altschul reports.

    I volunteer for the Ronald McDonald house in Seattle and I have seen a lot of kids in my past five years that are going through chemotherapy at Children’s Hospital across the street from the Ronald McDonald house and I would love to get more information about this program. Both of my parents are cancer survivors. I just lost my dad two months ago after a long battle with dementia and my mom is a great crocheting person and she would love to help out
