William’s final wish to his father was simple: share our family’s story so others might be spared the same pain. Today, that wish lives on through Dear William and the work of The Magee Foundation. Students and families long for a better way forward. They deserve it. Our mission is to help them find hope, with storytelling, education, and pathways to support that lead to flourishing lives.
