Will’s Warriors

Going the extra mile!

Will’s Warriors for HOPE are a group of passionate and caring individuals who turn the everyday into extraordinary. Warriors range from the most serious of athletes to the average person looking for a little exercise to young children participating in a 1 mile fun run. Whatever their passion, they “compete” with the added benefit of helping Will and the many other children afflicted with juvenile Batten disease.

You can become a Warrior for Will and watch your effort easily multiply while helping The Will Herndon Fund reach a wider audience and move closer to our goal of eradicating juvenile Batten disease.
