Berks Catholic High School and Team 17 Strong have challenged Wilson!
Anthony Myers is a 16-year-old student at Berks Catholic. On Sunday, October 21, Anthony’s life changed drastically. He woke up early that morning and started seizing. A biopsy was later performed at the Reading Hospital, and the Myers family received devastating news. Anthony was diagnosed with brain cancer: Stage 3 Anaplastic Astrocytoma.
Despite his diagnosis, Anthony wanted to be back on the football field with his team. Anthony is prepared to fight this battle, but he needs our help! Team 17 Strong is now fundraising to help ensure that Anthony can receive and afford the best treatment possible.
Berks Catholic and Team 17 Strong have challenged Berks County schools to each sell 100 schools specific “17 Strong” shirts. So far Wilson has sold over 160 shirts! Now let’s make it to 200! If you purchase a “Wilson Team 17 Strong” shirt or a “Berks Catholic” Team 17 Strong shirt we encourage you to wear it to school on Monday, December 17th in support of Anthony Myers.
