Why We Support St. Jude
Team Benny
Benny has been battling brain cancer for a little over a year now. About 7 months into his journey, we were led to connect with and utilize the skills of a surgeon who is closely connected with St. Jude. Ben's story would be entirely different if it were not for this surgeon. He helped connect us to receiving proton radiation therapy at St. Jude after Ben's surgeries. We'll be receiving post- treatment scans and care there as well. Over the course of our journey through the world of childhood cancer, we've been in a lot of hospitals and clinics. St. Jude stands above the rest- they are able to take the scary out of cancer. When it's your sick baby that's receiving care, that makes all the difference.
From St. Jude:
Can we count on you to make a donation or join our team?
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
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 us and the lifesaving work happening at St. Jude today.
Let’s cure childhood cancer. Together.
