5x5 Challenge Kickoff!

Where there’s a Will there’s a Way….

Thank you for joining the 5x5 Challenge,
our drive to raise $5000 by William’s Fifth Birthday on July 11th! Click here to donate now.

Will Kaplan has cancer.

He also has loving parents (and a big brother) with a large and supportive circle of family and friends. That’s why we’ve started the “5x5 Challenge” – a meaningful – and easy – way for you to help the Kaplans get through this difficult time.

What is the 5x5 Challenge?

We’re going to raise $5000 for the Kaplans by Will’s 5th birthday. That’s the 5x5 Challenge.
Get it?

Like us, maybe you have wondered, “I’ve heard Will’s story, and I want to help, but I don’t know how.” We know your heart goes out to Laura, Scott, Ben and William during this difficult time and you want to do something. It’s hard to know where to pitch in.

The good news is that Will’s Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (or ALL) is highly treatable.
But it usually requires 2-4 years of expensive chemotherapy.

While the Kaplan’s focus on Will’s illness (and recovery), they face other hurdles as well. One of the biggest challenges facing families with a critical illness is the mounting out-of-pocket medical expenses.

Even though the Kaplan’s have good health insurance,
the remaining balance has quickly added up to unexpected thousands of dollars.

So we’ve created an easy, online place where you can donate to the cause. It’s secure, run through PayPal, and you can quickly and easily donate from a credit card or bank transfer in seconds. All money donated will go directly to cover medical expenses related to William’s care and get him on the road to recovery and running around the backyard again.

William’s fifth birthday is just a month away!
