Why We Support St. Jude
MaddyStrong
Our daughter, Maddy, was diagnosed with a brain tumor on August 27, 2019, at the age of 18. She was immediately referred to St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital. On September 4, 2019, she underwent brain surgery and partial tumor resection. She is currently stable and living with most of the tumor still in her brain. We follow up a couple times a year with St. Jude, and her team out there. We have never had to worry about lodging, food, or medical bills. We have never received a bill for Maddy’s care. We are forever grateful for all they have done and continue to do.
Can we count on your donation to support our team?
Since its founding 60 years ago, treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent.
And because St. Jude shares the breakthroughs it makes, every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
Thank you for supporting us and the lifesaving work happening at St. Jude today. Let’s cure childhood cancer. Together.
