In December 2024, at age 13, Will was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma. He was treated at MaineHealth and underwent 6 months of chemotherapy. The subsequent scans indicated that the cancer was still prevalent and spreading. After many tests, the medical team from MaineHealth and Dana Farber decided the best next step would be High Dose Chemo with Stem Cell Retrieval (also called a Stem Cell Transplant). Will has a long road ahead of him, with more rounds of chemo in Maine and then the transplant and recovery at Boston Children's Hospital, which will mean a 4-6 week hospitalization. After Will comes home to Maine, he will still need to remain isolated to prevent infection. The Kenty's are thankful for all the outreach by family and friends asking how they can help and have set up this page to make it easy for those who want to give and also get updates along the journey. There are many gift cards in the wish list section as well as a direct link to Allison's venmo. In addition, the Kenty's would also benefit from a freezer full of meals they can enjoy as they bounce back and forth between Boston and Maine. If you would like to supply a meal, please text Allison at 617-529-3123. Many have also asked how they could help with the lovable Riggs. He will often be boarded at Rosco's Bed and Bark, where people can add funds to the Kenty's account by calling (207) 531-3530.
