In August of 2014, my late Father in law, Will Brandon, was diagnosed with terminal cancer. A very athletic and active man, who never got sick, we were all caught off guard by the news. Although his doctors said he would only live about 3 months longer, Mr. Will fought long and hard until May of 2015. 

 

In an effort to show my love and support for my late Father in Law, I am so excited to be participating in the First Annual WILLStrong Foundation Walk/Run. Will Brandon was a true leader in his community and a strong proponent of academic success and health promotion. He was a shining example of what a Husband, Father, Brother, neighbor and friend should be. The WILLStrong Foundation was created in his honor and will donate all monies raised from this event to provide academic scholarships to local youth and to the Windber Hospice.

 

I encourage you, as Will would, to get out and challenge yourself physically on a daily basis. I also ask that you join us in reverence of Mr. Will by making a donation and supporting the WILLStrong Foundation.
