This September, I’m joining the nationwide movement to honor Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and support those who need us most — the kids of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®.

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

Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – so they can focus on helping their child live. Because of our generous donors, St. Jude can provide children cutting-edge treatments not covered by insurance, at no cost to families.

When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was largely considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer. Thank you for supporting me and the lifesaving work happening at St. Jude today. 

As in past years, I'm hoping to raise $1000 to support kids facing childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. My great niece, Annaleigh, had two life-saving brain operations at St. Jude’s hospital in Memphis over 5 years ago, and without those procedures she would not have survived.  She now goes only once a year from Baton Rouge to Memphis for follow up tests to be sure everything is still clear.  The family has not had to pay even $1 for any of the surgeries nor follow-up tests.  

Let’s cure childhood cancer. Together.
