WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (Feb. 15, 2012) - The William and Mary soccer
family has created a website to support former Tribe men's soccer player Ian Stowe's ('11) battle with cancer -
StoweStrong.com.
In January of 2012, a tumor was
discovered on Stowe's brain stem. A four-year letterwinner at W&M, Stowe
was diagnosed with Germinoma, a type of germ cell tumor typically resulting
form a failure of germ cells to migrate properly in the body.
He will soon move from Inova
Fairfax Hospital to MCV at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va.,
to begin chemotherapy and radiation treatments with the goal of eradicating the
tumor.
StoweStrong.com was created to
spread awareness to family, friends and all those close to Stowe about his
current situation. One of the primary goals of the site is to help Stowe and
his family offset the impending medical expenses associated with Ian's
treatment program. The site will also provide frequent updates as to the status
of his road to recovery.
