Doug and Christie Friend

This September, I’m joining the nationwide movement to honor Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and support the incredible work of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®.

Can I count on your support to help me reach my fundraising goal? I’ve set a goal, but please don’t let that limit your generosity—every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.

It is a travesty that these little kids, who haven’t even had the chance to experience life’s simplest joys—like finishing school, kissing their first crush, or exploring the world—are facing such a devastating disease as cancer. They are incredibly brave, and their families are steadfast in their support. They deserve every opportunity to fight this battle without the added burden of financial strain.

St. Jude is dedicated to ensuring that no family ever receives a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food. This allows them to focus solely on helping their child get better. Thanks to generous donors like you, St. Jude can provide cutting-edge treatments that aren’t covered by insurance, at no cost to families.

Since opening in 1962, St. Jude has pushed the overall survival rate for childhood cancer from 20% to more than 80%. Our mission doesn’t stop until no child dies from cancer.

Thank you for supporting me and the lifesaving work being done at St. Jude. Together, we can make a difference and move closer to curing childhood cancer.

Let’s do this!
