The Willie Bee Foundation was founded in honor of our sweet boy who lost his life after a courageous battle with AT/RT, an aggressive brain tumor.  Will was just a few weeks shy of his second birthday.  He courageously fought for almost twenty months enduring numerous surgeries, six rounds of high dose chemotherapy with stem cell recovery, and thirty proton beam radiation treatments.  Will taught us what bravery, strength, and resilience truly look like.  Our love for Will is a love without end, and we miss him more than words could ever say.  Throughout Will’s illness we experienced the difference that caring, compassionate, and empathetic individuals can make in a family’s life when they are facing the unthinkable.  We want Will’s legacy to be one of generosity and goodwill, and we hope this foundation brings support to local families experiencing the unimaginable.  With your support, we can make a difference, one family at a time.  We can help families with children battling a life threatening illness and provide monetary, medical, and social support services that they would not otherwise have access to.  Thank you for helping us do good in Will’s name and for remembering our sweet boy with us.
