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®.

Another reason September is a special month for me is, it's my mom's birthday on September 26th. She would have been 76 this year. This will be a great way to honor her memory, she loved kids. Every child that came through her home was family. 

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.  

Let’s cure childhood cancer. Together.
