Doctors at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital saved James’ life after he was diagnosed with blood cancer. James' brother Eddie is proud to work in the mill that makes Hammermill paper, a partner with St. Jude in the fight to end childhood cancer.

 

Meet James and Eddie

When James was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia as a child, his family turned to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where James underwent chemotherapy. As he neared the end of treatment, James’ family learned the cancer had returned. His continuing treatment included chemotherapy and radiation therapy. James finished treatment in 2002.

Today, he coaches college basketball. His brother Eddie, who helped care for him during treatment, works for International Paper, manufacturer of the Hammermill paper brand.

St. Jude does things the right way. Everything is for the kids.
