Why I'm fundraising for St. Jude
Childhood is a special and magical time. We learn, we grow, we play, we love. A baby's laugh or a child's hug can instantly bring a smile to your face. Children make our world brighter and more beautiful because they are in it. Every child deserves the chance to make our lives richer just by being children.
Cancer robs them of this. Laughter is replaced by tears. Happiness turns to fear. Comforting lullabies become cold, beeping machines.
But there is hope.
Thanks to donors like you, no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food - because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago.
Please join me in helping make childhood cancer a thing of the past.
