Meet Will

At age five, Will was diagnosed with cancer in his leg. Will received 14 rounds of chemotherapy and had limb salvage surgery. Today Will is cancer-free and is enjoying life to its fullest.

He loves all sports but especially baseball. His sister Clare calls him “The Walking Baseball Card!” In the fall and spring you can find Will playing on a local baseball team, and he’s quite a hitter! Will has a huge heart and is always taking care of his friends when they get hurt. Although we never want kids to get cancer, if they do, we long for the day that they all come through treatment like Will.
