His parents had been discussing the benefits that this drug could offer, and Will wants to take action. So, he filmed the video. In less than 24 hours, the Roberts family has heard from Alabama and national lawmakers and even celebrity doctors like Dr. Oz.
WSFA 12 News’ Ian Alvano is speaking with Will and his family about the boy’s battle, and his decision to make the Facebook post. We’ll update this story with more details and video throughout the day.
In Will’s video he asks for it to be shared with President Donald Trump and Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “We’ve tried basically everything there is, and we’re getting toward the end of the road, and I need help,” the boy urges. While he remains in a battle for his life, Will is thinking about others.
He states in the video that while he’s unsure about his future, he wants other kids who may battle this disease in the future to have the best chance possible.
