Dale Earnhardt, Jr.,  you are an incredible #williestrong champion and Willie was a HUGE fan of yours!   He cherished the NASCAR posters that were given out to the kids at Children’s National’s Cancer Center.  During his cancer treatments, he looked forward to visiting the NASCAR Vital Signs Room because your words of encouragement that decorated the wall inspired and challenged him to be strong during his treatments.  Thank you for your support!

My friends nephew, Willie Hughes, fought glioblastoma brain cancer for 28 months. He persevered through 6 brain surgeries, radiation, cyber knife, chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments to try to find a treatment for
His aggressive brain cancer. He never gave up hope, always remained positive and kept his faith. Please consider donating to  Http://williestrong.foundation to support the William Hughes Professorship in Neuro-oncology and Immunity at Children’s Hospital in D.C.  Although scientific advances could not cure Willie, we continue to fight in Willie’s name to help other families, as well as support the doctors, nurses and researchers who fought so hard and took such good care of him.  This professorship will guarantee that Will’s fighting spirit lives on in the promise to help other families devastated by cancer.

What is Pediatric GlioBlastoma?

Glioblastoma is a fast- growing type of central nervous system tumor that forms from glial (supportive) tissue of the brain and spinal cord and has cells that look very different from normal cells. Also called GBM, glioblastoma multiforme, and grade IV astrocytoma.

Make a donation

The Willie Strong Foundation aims to raise $2 million dollars to establish the William Seamus Hughes Professorship in Neuro-oncology and Immunology at Children’s National. This endowed professorship will guarantee that Will’s fighting spirit lives on in the pursuit of treatments for pediatric glioblastoma and other aggressive pediatric brain tumors and ensure that every child has the very best chance for a cure.
