This is William. He is 14 years old. Ten years ago, just after his fourth birthday, he was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer called pleuropulmonary blastoma. He had to have surgery to remove tumors from his lungs followed by months of chemotherapy to make sure it stayed away. Will survived his battle with childhood cancer, but many do not. In the U.S., one in five children diagnosed with cancer will not survive.

During Will's treatment, his family started hosting their own St. Baldrick's event to raise money for lifesaving childhood cancer treatment. In the words of Will: "Research money goes a long way, who knows, it could maybe find a cure for cancer!"
