Will is an active 4 year old who loves Transformers, cars, baseball, soccer, playing with blocks, and swimming. He lives in Lafayette with him mom, Jessica and his dad, Shane, and his three sisters, Hannah, 22, Lily, 10, and Allie, 7. On November 28, 2011, will was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He had been very tired and pale, so at the recommendation of the family?s doctor, he was brought into the emergency room where he was diagnosed with ALL within 48 hours. His treatment will be complete in April 2015. Will is under the care of Lafayette?s own Dr. Morad, and was able to receive all of his treatment right here in Lafayette. Will is currently in the maintenance phase of his treatment receiving oral chemo. He is doing fantastic, and we are excited to have his family take part in the campaign this year!
