William Webb was a 4-year-old warrior who bravely fought a disease called neuroblastoma, a very rare pediatric cancer that is often difficult to diagnose. Roughly 700 new cases of neuroblastoma are diagnosed each year in the United States. On March 8, 2013, William began his fight against stage IV neuroblastoma, a diagnosis given when solid tumors have spread to two or more areas of the body or vital organs as well as bone marrow. Children who are battling this disease are given the most aggressive treatment that their little bodies can possibly tolerate – some of the most grueling therapies to treat any cancer in children OR adults – in the hopes that they will be cured, but the published odds for beating this cancer are simply not good enough.
William fought a war that many children do not win, and gained his precious angel wings on February 5, 2014. In his honor, and on behalf of all children who battle cancer, we, his family and friends, will not live without fighting for a cure, without hope, or with the fear of failure. It is the combined efforts of all those involved with our cause that will help us to achieve victory against childhood cancers.
Please consider partnering with us in helping to fund the research needed to find a cure for neuroblastoma and other childhood cancers. Wiliam continues to teach us all, again and again, the most simple and profound lessons in life: to live each day with hope, to love without condition, and to thrive in our own way, despite any challenge that we may face. Please join us in continuing his fight, so that no child has to live a life with cancer.
