childhood cancer

I am an animal lover and I'm convinced that my dogs know how I'm feeling at all times. Then I imagine I am a kid and I'm in a strange place fighting for my life because I have cancer. What can help with the worries these St. Jude patients have? It's therapy dogs and they are amazing at their jobs.

My Senior year of High School I was excited about two things: Graduation and Prom. I was lucky that those two things were all I had to worry about, the children of St. Jude's don't have that luxury but St. Jude's makes sure they don't miss out either.

I have to share this video with you , and hopefully the rest of the world! So I am asking you to SHARE, SHARE, SHARE it with everyone you know! Some of you may have seen it recently on a few Facebook pages from local friends but I think it really does need to go viral. I can't think of a better way of teaching or reminding people how important a little kindness, fun and human interaction can mean

As we get ready for our "8th annual Country Cares for St. Jude Kids Radiothon" this Wednesday and Thursday, I got to thinking what do people really need to know. So I looked at the St. Jude webpage and found a few of the "facts" that over the years I have found to be pretty important when deciding whether or not you want to donate or better yet become a "Partner in Hope&qu
