As the grandparent of a cancer survivor, thanks to God and the incredible treatment for Alexander from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, we will always be a supporter in St. Jude’s efforts to bring the survivor rate for childhood cancer to 100%!   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®.   Please consider joining Team Compass for this year’s St. Jude Oklahoma Walk/Run event on September 28th in Tulsa.   

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.
