Wil is Sick

To be honest, I hadn’t been watching Wil Dasovich‘s current vlogs lately. Some things got my attention more, plus I was thinking he was just doing clickbait with the “sick” thing (don’t get mad at me as he and friend Daniel Marsh always do that and admit to that). I was planning on checking out missed posts and binging on them one of these days, which is what I usually do on YouTube.

I did keep checking out if Wil had new posts and because they were all about sick, sick, sick, I ignored them at first although I was curious what it was about. The last time I watched him vlog about sickness was when he was abroad. He and his friends wouldn’t mention what he was sick about and were kind of joking about it, saying it was embarrassing, I assumed it was something like diarrhea or UTI.

Okay, so I checked out his channel today and the title of his newest vlog stunned me. I felt that this time, he’s serious. Admittedly, I read the comments first and indeed, wow, it is serious. This time, this is not about creating drama “para sa vlog” (for the vlog). It’s real life. I don’t think he’d be joking about something like this.

It’s cancer. I don’t know what kind. He did not say in the video. But whatever kind, cancer is a serious matter. It is something I would never wish on anybody. It is something that suddenly makes you reflect on your life more–what have you done with your life? have you done any good for anybody? do you not regret, at least, one thing in your life? These are questions we need to think about considering that even someone seemingly as healthy and obviously fit as Wil could get something like cancer.

I am sharing his video here. Don’t worry, it’s a nice and relevant video. There’s a bit of a sad part, but he’s not going to be all weepy about it. In fact, he encourages everyone to LIVE!!! I don’t really know him, of course, but I think Wil is a decent young man who just wants to enjoy his life. I wouldn’t be surprised if he beats this thing.

Okay, he says you can help out by clicking on the thumbs-up sign and subscribing. That’s how he earns from YouTube, guys. I suggest not skipping the ad as it helps vloggers more when we don’t. He also encourages people to share the vid, so I am sharing it through this post, which will be automatically posted on my Facebook page and Twitter feeds. Also, he didn’t mention it, but if you want to help him out more, he sells merchandise at Tsongandtsonggo.com. Maybe you could try and give the site a visit.

UPDATE: His friends recently created #1MforWil to grant his wish and help. “1M” does not refer to an amount of money, but to his dream of reaching 1M channel subscribers. Well, he has not asked for any financial assistance exactly, but the number of subscribers does affect a YouTuber’s earnings from vlogging. So if you can’t help financially, maybe subscribing to his channel won’t hurt you, rather that may help him with whatever assistance he needs.
