When I think about why I support St. Jude, I’m reminded of family members I’ve lost to cancer—their laughter, their dreams, and until the end, their unwavering hope. I cannot imagine the heartbreak of hearing the words, “Your child has cancer,” and I’m determined to do whatever I can so no parent ever has to face that fear alone.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital leads the way in understanding, treating, and ultimately curing childhood cancer. Because of their groundbreaking work and generous donors, families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food—so they can focus on what truly matters: their child’s well-being. That mission gives me hope, and it drives my goal to raise funds and awareness through the Tampa St. Jude Walk. Every dollar (big or small) helps us get to this goal.
Will you join me—whether in person at Amalie Arena on September 27th, or virtually from wherever you are? Together, we can bring us closer to a world where every child survives and thrives. Please consider donating and registering for the walk at www.stjude.org/walkTampa. Every dollar, every step, and every share brings us closer to a cure—and ensures that no parent ever has to hear those words again.
