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!
It’s #NationalEggDay and I accepted the #CrackCancer challenge from @Redskins @RyanKerrigan91 in support of the #WillieStrongFoundation. @JimmieJohnson and @ClintBowyer YOU’RE UP! pic.twitter.com/FgCn4yHis7

Today we cracked an egg on our heads for #crackcancer. Our coach donated 5$ to the cancer research for every person that cracked an egg on their head. We did this to spread awareness for Benji and for all of the other cancer patients around the world. Benji was diagnosed with CPC (choroid plexus carcinoma) in 2014. he went through a 6 hour brain surgery, 6 rounds of chemo and 3 stem cell transplants. All his major milestones were spent in the hospital. Benji is now 5 and still fighting but we know he will never backdown. #teamsuperbenji teamsuperbenji

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.

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.
