Hannah Smith

Hi, I’m Hannah. Five years ago, my life completely changed when I found out I had a brain stem tumor that couldn’t be removed. Since then, I’ve been through surgeries, chemo, and proton radiation...definitely not things any kid expects to go through. It hasn’t been easy, but I’ve had so many people lifting me up with prayers and encouragement, and that has helped me keep going.

One of the biggest blessings in my journey has been St. Jude. I became a patient there in 2022, and right away I knew it was different. Every person there goes out of their way to make kids like me feel safe and cared for. St. Jude has truly given me hope when I’ve needed it most.

This September, my family and I are joining the St. Jude Walk/Run to honor Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and to raise money for kids who are still fighting. I’d love for you to support my team and St. Jude, because they are giving kids like me the chance to keep fighting and keep hoping.

Can I count on your donation to help me reach my goal?

Because of generous donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – so they can focus on helping their child live. By donating to my fundraising efforts, you are helping to make that possible.

Thank you for supporting me and the lifesaving work happening at St. Jude today.
