Wilson, said:
We are fortunate to have Seattle Children’s in our backyard leading the way in childhood cancer care and providing groundbreaking immunotherapy treatment to kids around the world.
Pediatric cancer research is underfunded by the federal government and this life-saving program needs our support. As captain of the Immuno Heroes, I want to call on everyone to support our team, be a hero and donate to Immuno Heroes to help make a very real impact in the lives of children with cancer.
Immuno Heroes was established by the Why Not You Foundation and Safeway Albertsons to support Seattle Children’s Therapeutics groundbreaking research in the immunotherapy field and provide life changing treatments to children with cancer. Seattle Children’s is an international leader in research to cure childhood cancer by boosting the immune system with immunotherapy, and their clinical trials are providing critical early intervention for children worldwide.
