Why We Support St. Jude
The A Team
Alexa was diagnosed in 2013, at 15 months old, with stage four neuroblastoma. There was a huge tumor wrapped around her spine and the disease had spread to her bones and bone marrow. Over the next six years she endured three relapses, a stem cell transplant, radiation to her spine and leg, immunotherapy, several rounds of high-dose chemo, and so many other challenges. St. Jude was by our side through it all, and without them she wouldn’t be here with us, in remission, today!
This is her story in a nutshell; it would take a very long time to talk about everything she went through to get to where we are today. We will forever be grateful to St. Jude for saving our daughter’s life so that we could go on to tell her story. We raise money for kids just like Alexa so that they can have hope for a cure!
Thanks for visiting our fundraising page for the St. Jude Walk/Run!
Our team is committed to fundraise for the kids of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital because St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancers and other life-threatening diseases.
Since opening their doors more than 50 years ago, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate for childhood cancer from 20 percent when their doors first opened to more than 80 percent today — but there is more work to be done.
That’s where you come in. Donations from fundraising events like the St. Jude Walk/Run support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and families will never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
St. Jude won’t stop until no child dies from cancer—so neither will we. Will you join us by registering for our team or making a donation today?
Your support makes a powerful, lifesaving impact. Let’s inspire kindness and find hope because together, nothing is impossible.
