Prior to Will’s diagnosis, he was lethargic and wouldn't eat or drink which lead him to become very dehydrated. His dad noticed blood in his urine and the family went to the Emergency Room.

Will’s ultrasound showed a mass on his left kidney. In April 2018, Will was diagnosed with a Wilms tumor and the cancer had spread to his lungs and surrounding lymph nodes. He had his left kidney and the tumor removed and then began chemotherapy and then radiation at the Jimmy Fund Clinic.

The length of treatment has been approximately 31 weeks. It was initially supposed to be only 26, but they extended it after his first scan didn't yield the results they wanted. 

Will enjoys Super Heroes, monster trucks, coloring and beating former Super Bowl Champs in Connect Four during a NESN visit to the Jimmy Fund Clinic.

Will would like to meet Spider Man again and the Avengers, and to become potty trained.

Will has amazing spirit which lead to his hashtag #StrongWILLed. The City of Gloucester has been amazing when it comes to the support of their family. Local businesses held fundraisers and are selling wristbands, the entire Gloucester Little League wore #StrongWILLed wristbands, among many other things. So many great things people have done to help Will and his family.
