Nov of 2023 one of our dear friends suddenly passed away. Our friends group feels helpless and sad. We wanted to do something / ANYTHING to honor our friend, Julie Blackburn. About 12 years ago her granddaughter fought and won the battle with childhood leukemia, it was a very hard time for the entire family. So to honor our friend, Julie our friend group is walking to raise money for St Jude's and the kiddo's that battle childhood cancer. NO FAMILY should go through such sadness and heartache.

Please consider any size donation - Team "FOR JULIE" appreciates you and so does St Jude's

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.  

Let’s cure childhood cancer. Together.
