Radiothon

The Paws at Play program at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital plays a very important part in helping families cope with their child's diagnosis. They are trained as service dogs that distract patients from their symptoms, illness, pain, and anxiety. They are there to motivate and support too with social interaction.

We are about to embark on our 2 most important days of the year at GNA, with one goal in mind: to give hope to kids fighting the battle of your life.

There are many things that are amazing about St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The hospital itself is a place of hope and love. Not only does the medical staff do everything possible to help kids and their families battle cancer, but they give them promise. A promise to do everything it takes to make them better and they never have to pay for treatments, food, lodging, or anything that they have at St. Jude.

Why am I a St. Jude Partner in Hope?  The answer is simple.

Is there anything in your family that has passed through generations? Maybe it's a piece of jewelry, maybe it's a story, for my family, it's being a St. Jude Partner in Hope.

Every dollar makes a difference. St. Jude Children's Hospital is an amazing place where families of children with cancer know that their child is getting the best care possible. You can help by becoming a Partner in Hope and donating just $20 each month.

There is something amazing about St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Not only do the doctors do whatever it takes to try and cure these kids battling cancer, but it is a place full of hope and promise. Inside the hospital, there is a wall that illustrates the "ABCs of Cancer".

Over the next 2 days, you can do something amazing: give the gift of hope for kids fighting cancer.

Wow.  That's the only way to sum up our feelings as the phone call came into the GNA studio this morning just before noon.  Alabama lead singer Randy Owen, who also happens to be the man at the forefront of the 'Country Cares For St. Jude Kids Radiothon' shocked Brian and Chrissy with an unexpected phone call to thank YOU, the generous GNA listeners who make this radiothon such a success. With all

There's something different and powerful when you hear from a child that tells you how to help other kids. I sat down with my son, Ryan, and asked him about cancer, St. Jude and how he thinks we can all help. Here's what he said.

The next 2 days are going to be quite a ride. They will be emotional, powerful, sad and a wonderful thing will be accomplished because of you.

Our 13th annual St. Jude Radiothon has wrapped, and once again, you stepped up BIG TIME to fight childhood cancer.
