                                DONATE TO #WILLIESTRONG
                            

Each day, 43 families in the United States will hear the words “your child has cancer.”

In September, groups across America focus their attention on pediatric cancer by mobilizing during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and your support matters. Childhood cancer is devastating to growth and development in children, and devastating to their families and friends. At a time when young people should be focusing on school, play and socialising, their focus is on medication, operations, and what life they have left.

Join The Willie Strong Foundation this month at #williestrong events or donate to fight pediatric cancer.

ARE YOU WILLIE STRONG?

On June 13th, 2018, our family suffered a heart-breaking and tremendous loss with the passing of our son, William Seamus Hughes, from aggressive pediatric brain cancer. Willie and our community of supporters became known as “Willie Strong” because of Willie’s legendary positive spirit, wisdom, and his incredibly strong fight against his illness.

Willie wanted to live and would have done anything to have more time. Unfortunately 6 brain surgeries, multiple rounds of chemo, 86 radiation treatments, and 3 clinical trials across this country could not save him. That is why we have decided to continue his fight and help our brain cancer doctors, researchers and immunologist at Children’s National continue to search for better treatments and, hopefully, a cure some for these aggressive pediatric brain tumors. We don’t want any child to suffer the way Willie did and so many do with this devastating disease.

We founded the Willie Strong Foundation with this mission and we are grateful to all of you who have joined the battle with us with your financial support, campaign efforts and participation.

~ Kevin, Claire, Jack, Charlotte, Emma, and Teddy Hughes
