It was then that Will’s mom found something. A potential breakthrough treatment, a drug called DeltaRex-G, might give a fighting chance.

According to the National Library of Medicine, DeltaRex-G has led to “long-term survivorship” of 10 years or more for some patients with complicated cancer forms. In the video, which quickly went viral after it was posted on April 22, Roberts said: “I want my life, just as anybody does, but even if this won’t work out for me, if this drug can get out in the future, I mean, it’ll help hundreds of other kids.

The video went viral within days. By May 1, it had received over 6 million views and even reached the Oval Office.
