My team
I'm "Running for Willie"
Dear Friends,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my run and donating to the Willie Fund. This cause means the world to me, as it's dedicated to honoring the memory of my uncle Willie — a man whose kindness, strength, and spirit touched everyone who knew him.
Your generosity not only keeps his legacy alive but also helps us make a positive impact in the lives of others, just like he always did. Whether you knew Uncle Willie personally or are simply moved by his story, your support means everything to and my family.
Together, we’re turning love into action — and I’m so grateful to have you on this journey with me.
With gratitude,
Jackson Finigan
Description
We're "Running for Willie"!!
The Willie Fund is honored to be part of the ASICS Falmouth Road Race! The funds raised by our dedicated runners goes directly to Mass Eye & Ear, part of Mass General Brigham hospital in Boston to help support the research and fight for a cure of Head & Neck Cancer.
About The Willie Fund:
The Willie Fund was started in honor of William J. Finigan, but known to most as "Willie", who passed away on August 26th 2021 from Squamous Cell Carcinoma, a type of Head and Neck Cancer.
The Willie Fund works directly with Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary, part of Mass General Brigham, and the dedicated doctors who treated Willie, allocating all donations specifically to help fund further research for Head & Neck Cancer.
Our hope is to ultimately find a cure so that no one has to lose their loved one as young and as sudden as we did Willie.
