Willie Hughes played youth baseball in Bethesda, wearing #27 for the Koa Green Wave. On the field and off, Willie’s positive spirit was legendary and when diagnosed with a fast-growing glioblastoma brain tumor at age 10, he fought bravely for two years, enduring countless surgeries, chemotherapy, and experimental therapies in pursuit of a cure.
Willie wished that children fighting cancer would not experience what he did and would benefit from scientific advances in therapies and even a cure. In his honor as his legacy, we continue the fight.
