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.
In the next day or so, you'll hear a lot of numbers and a lot of statistics, and most of them will be positive. Numbers of Partners in Hope, numbers of phone lines lit with good people like yourself making generous donations, numbers of children's lives saved every year with the research provided by the angels at St. Jude. I hope we raise 200,000 dollars by the end of our WGNA St. Jude Children's
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is an amazing place full of hope and promise. Inside is a wall that illustrates the "ABCs of Cancer". It is a child's perspective about what cancer is to each child.
