This Is Will Lacey

Just a regular, American 4-year old who loves; The Bruins, go-karts, eating waffles, playing with his friends and yelling "Cannon Ball!" just before he jumps in the pool.




  • Things Are Different For Will

    Every day is a fight for his life.

    Will Lacey is a 4-year old, third generation Braintree resident who was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma (cancerous tumor) at 7 months of age. After initial therapy the disease returned, and in the Fall of 2006 Will was deemed incurable.

    The only thing that is going to save the lives of kids like Will is funding for research. This funding does not currently exist so the parents of these incurable kids have been forced to try and raise the necessary money themselves. This is a crucial step which so many families hope will pave the way for discovery of a cure, or at least a more effective treatment.





  • How Can You Help?

    We know that's what you were thinking.

    Friends Of Will has been raising funds with the help of hard-working volunteers for over 2 years. If you are thinking about joining our team to help Will and other children like him, you're in the right place. Here's a couple great ideas:

    Attend one of our events and help spread the word. Make a donation towards research for a cure. These donations go to the actual research facility that treats kids like Will (orange button link at right). Volunteer to help out at an event by emailing FriendsOfWillLacey@hotmail.com

    Any help you can provide in getting the word out would be appreciated. Having them be as successful as possible is the best way I can help pay tribute to their efforts so we thank you for that.
