Their little brother Mackie had leukemia.
They were in a hotel room in Europe one night. Well actually they were in Europe hotels for more than one night, but you get the idea. Taylor and Zac were playing on the nintendo and Isaac was standing outside on the balcony. In the cold too, but staring out at the view. After awhile, he wandered back in.
"You know guys, I got an idea."
"Did it hurt?" Zac asked automatically.
"No. You know how the leukemia foundation thingy does that huge fundraiser every year where they get people to shave their heads?"
"Yeah. What about it?" Taylor asked.
"What do you think about helping out?"
Taylor was so startled by this comment that his car crashed.
"Oh, damn, now Zac's gonna win." He complained.
"Too late, already have!" Zac exulted, putting down the controls. "Now what's this about head shaving?"
"Well, we could go on one of those shows that shaves people live you know. We'd raise a lot of money that way." Isaac pointed out. "Besides, I think Mackie might feel a little out of place being the only Hanson without hair."
"Yeah, he's going to be doing chemo huh?" Taylor agreed. "I like the idea. I'll shave my head."
"And of course I would. What about you Zac?"
Zac thought for a moment.
"Umm, well, I like the idea, don't get me wrong, Ike. But umm, I don't really want to shave my head."
"Why don't you dye it?" Taylor suggested. "Some people do that instead."
Zac's eyes seemed to glow.
"Ooh, yeah. Cool idea. What about fluoro green?"
"Uh oh." Isaac turned to Taylor. "Tay, you've created a monster."
"Zac, how on earth do you expect to not get recognised if you dye your hair fluoro green?" Taylor asked.
Zac shrugged.
"Well, I don't have to decide what colour tonight do I?"
