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

LOOK WHO’S CRACKIN’
It’s been 5 years since Willie Hughes passed away from brain cancer. Six years ago this group talked about raising money to help kids with pediatric brain cancer and join Willie’s personal fight. Rock for a Cure 2018 rallied his community and supported Willie and his strong spirit. The Willie Strong Foundation started in 2019 with the help of many friends and volunteers and our Crack Cancer viral campaign. Since then, we’ve raised over $2 million to fund new treatments and brain cancer research and the fight continues. Join us on Tuesday May 16th at the dedication of Willie’s Professorship at Children’s National and at SummerFest 2023 on Friday June 9th (ticket sales coming soon) to continue Willie’s fight. We are #williestrong.

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.
