Wayne and his wife Missy established HOPE: The Will Herndon Research Fund in the Summer of 2009 upon receiving their oldest son’s diagnosis of Juvenile Batten Disease.  Since that time, they have hosted two major fundraisers each year in The Woodlands, Hope on the Green, a golf tournament held each Spring; and Hope Under the Stars, an evening gala in the Fall; with the focus to raise awareness for Juvenile Batten Disease and more importantly, raise money to fund research to slow and ultimately stop the progression of the disease.
