FERRUM, Va. -- Willie Belcher, Sports Information Director at
Virginia Intermont College, is currently in the battle of her life against cancer. She has been diagnosed with liomyosarcoma which is a rare cancer that occurs in 1% of all cancers.
Willie has a passion for her job and for the students and student-athletes that she comes in contact with on a daily basis. She is strong in her faith and has and continues to be an influence to those around her.
Surgery to remove the tumor was unsuccessful and she is now traveling to Houston to the renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center. Her medical bills are very expensive as well as her travel expenses. A fund has been set up at Highlands Union Bank in Bristol, Virginia, to contribute to the "Win It for Willie" fund. Donations can be mailed to:
