Protecting our most precious resources - our children and our wildlife
Wes' wish granting program
Many children are faced with the devastating diagnosis of cancer. While some go into remission upon completion of upfront therapy, there are many children who see disease progression, relapse or are terminal from diagnosis. With our program, it is our hope that we can help fulfill small, but meaningful wishes for these young fighters, and bring a glimpse of happiness, even if only for a moment, during their cancer journey.
Special thanks to our sponsor
The Langley For Families Foundation
Thank you for your $5,000 grant towards making these wishes happen!
cody's wish for the lego millennium falcon
Meet Cody.
Cody is an amazing 6 year old little boy from Norfolk, Va and has been fighting rhabdomyosarcoma since 2016. After a long year of intense treatment, Cody was declared no evidence of disease in June 2017. Unfortunately, Cody started to become jaundice again in March 2019, and it was determined that Cody had relapsed. Cody was inpatient 3 hours away at Georgetown recovering from back to back liver transplants and complications. The Wes Strong Team and 501st Legion surprised Cody with the giant LEGO set in the hospital.

Kaylee's wish for a gaming laptop - granted!
Meet Kaylee.
Kaylee is a sweet 10 year old warrior princess and patient at CHKD in Norfolk, VA, who was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma at the age of 2. Since then she has faced several relapses, but continues to fight with a smile on her face. Recently, her parents heard the words no parent ever wants to hear about their child upon finding out that the disease has spread throughout her bone marrow. They will be doing another round of chemo to try and buy more time. A gaming laptop has been on Kaylee's wish list, and thanks to our supporters, her wish has been filled!

David's Wish for a Gaming Computer - Granted!
Meet David.
David is a 13 year old local boy who loves cycling, camping, and gaming. He has been a patient at the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters in Norfolk, VA since 2017 after being diagnosed with Pre-B Cell Leukemia. David recently found out that his cancer is back for a third time. David has been wanting a gaming computer for some time, and received all of the necessary accessories for Christmas. However, due to the news of the recent relapse, he has been unable to get the CPU... until now. With your help, David received a custom-built gaming CPU made just for him.
