Cancer Survivor: CCI Inmate Willie

Chillicothe Correctional Institution & Southern Ohio Survivors partner for the CCI-SOS Walk-A-Thon. The event begins with a cancer awareness ceremony. Inmate Willie was one three who shared their story of cancer survival. Six years ago, Willie was diagnosed with prostate cancer, which later spread to his bones. He tells more of his story in this interview with iHeartMedia Chillicothe's Dan Ramey, who is a board member with SOS a local cancer survivor advocacy group. The Walk-A-Thon is a collaborative work between prison officials and the inmate Jaycee Chapter. The Chapter regularly makes a donation to SOS for their efforts. Inmates also knit blankets and caps which are distributed by SOS as part of its Chain Stitch Champions program. To learn more, visit www.SouthernOhioSurvivors.org.
