On Wednesday afternoon, the nerves started kicking in. We were making last minute preparations in anticipation for WGNA's 16th Annual Country Cares for St. Jude Kids Radiothon presented by Dom's Pizza, Subs and Wings. Full disclosure, I get anxious in the hours leading up to the St. Jude Radiothon because I never know what to expect.
What if I can't inspire anyone to become a Partner in Hope? W
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.
Ryan is a very compassionate kid and each year I talk to him about how important St. Jude Radiothon is and what they do. I asked him about cancer, St. Jude, and how he thinks we can all help the parents of the sick children worry less. When you listen to the words and innocence of a child talking about these things, there is something extra powerful in their words.
You will hear this phone number a lot over the next 2 days: 1-800-372-4999. That's the number for the Northeast Pest Control Phone Bank where you can become a Partner in Hope.
