BRUCEVILLE-EDDY, Texas — Terry Moore is only 10 years old, and is already fighting a daily battle.
In January 2023, Terry told his parents he had a lump on his shoulder. On Jan. 25, the Moore family was told Terry had stage four rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of cancer that targets skeletal muscles and tissue.
"Days in the hospital were pretty horrible because I've been hurting," Terry Moore said.
It's a constant hurt that Terry lives with every single day.
"He is fully aware of what will happen if he doesn't get treatment," Natalie Moore, Terry's mom, said. "Straight from the get go we told him that if you don't do treatment, you could die."
Every Thursday, the Moore's drive to Houston for Terry to receive his weekly chemotherapy.
Terry's hair started to fall out, so he shaved his head, and next thing he knew ... his supporters were ready for a buzz too.
"He got to do my dad's, he did his dad's, his papa, and then it went from there," Natalie said. "Then other people in the community have taken it upon themselves to shave their head for him. It's just showing him that he's not alone."
Terry is definitely not alone now. He has now cut around a dozen people's hair, and many more have shaved their heads in support of Terry's battle.
But one thing, keeps him going every single day.
His go-cart.
"It makes me super happy and it makes me feel good," Terry said. "I haven't even been hurting since I've driven it."
Natalie is thankful for moments like this with her son.
"It makes me happy because my son's back," Natalie said. "It was rough for a minute because he was just hooked up to all of these machines and no parent should have to see that. Seeing him bust donuts and having the time of his life, him being sick or not, this is his joy and I'm okay with that."
So of course, 6 News reporter, Nicole Shearin, had to hop in and take it for a spin.
"Whooooo! Heck yeah! You're a pro, Terry," Nicole Shearin, said.
It's safe to say they screamed and had big smiles on their faces the whole ride, and maybe popped a wheelie or two.
Cancer may be in Terry's path, but he battles it from the driver's seat.
The Moore family has created a Facebook page to follow Terry's fight, and on Saturday, Apr. 15 2023, they are hosting a Kids with Cancer Support Parade in their hometown of Bruceville-Eddy.
