Yarmouth PD gives 4-year-old battling cancer a visit to remember

YARMOUTH, Mass. — A 4-year-old boy who recently finished cancer treatment was given a visit he'll never forget while on vacation in Yarmouth earlier this month.

According to a letter written to the Yarmouth Police Department, 4-year-old Hayden got to meet the officers and even explore a police car before being heading to Pirate’s Cove mini golf.

Hayden’s grandfather explains in the letter what a battle the previous two years had been.

The Yarmouth Police Department posted the full letter on Facebook where it has been shared dozens of times.

“It is a credit to you and your department that you would go out of your way to make a child's day brighter. Hayden has gone through a lot over the past 2 years and hasn't been able to enjoy many of the things kids his age are able to,” the letter said.
