The Josh Powell Foundation was founded in honor of 1LT William Joshua Powell by his loving wife, Fabi. At 25 years old, Josh was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Synovial Sarcoma in his lower abdomen/pelvis. This cancer took his life two years and 25 days later, just one month after marrying the love of his life. Fabi has made it her mission to create a legacy in honor of her late husband. This legacy was built around the Keep Going/Never Die Easy wristbands Josh designed while battling cancer as well as the Keep Going statement he wrote explaining the meaning behind them. Josh’s wristbands and statement are sent out weekly to sarcoma patients, loved ones, caretakers, and surviving family members needing, hope, strength, and encouragement to Keep Going. When you encourage people battling adversity to Keep Going and fight their fight despite the odds stacked against them, you create a ripple effect. This ripple effect allows these individuals to encourage even more people, and the mission lives on.
