Darcy & WilliMo - He did a lot to stay with us.

Darcy, a huge Harry Potter fan, speaks with CJ about her dad, William, who passed away from complications with prostate cancer.

William, now known as WilliMo because of an old email address, passed away and July 2020 marks 10 years.

Learning what grief is and what it is not has been a large part of what Darcy has learned in the last decade.

Darcy and CJ have been friends for about 9 years and they have an in-depth discussion about how Darcy’s memories of her dad both introduces CJ (and others) to WilliMo and keeps Darcy’s memory of him alive. Sort of like Luke, Thomas & Cindy, Darcy had a similar experience where leaving town created a lot of guilt and feeling like something would always happen while she was away.

TO COMMEMORATE WILLIMO’S LIFE

To commemorate WilliMo’s life and battle with cancer, each year Darcy and her sister do a 5K and fundraise for a cure. Unfortunately, this year that won’t be able to happen. However, donating to an awesome cancer organization of your choice and submitting your information will get you an awesome sticker in the mail.

1. Check out the organizations that Darcy suggests. Choose one of them OR find one that you support.
2. Make a donation!
3. Run/Walk a 5K in honor or in memory of someone you care about… even WilliMo!
4. Give your information to Darcy and she will send you a sticker of her original artwork.
