Moving up
Da’Maya graduated from the fifth grade this summer. She spent her entire fourth grade year at St. Jude, in treatment for soft tissue cancer. But look at her now! She’s cancer free and officially became a middle schooler this August.
Sun and sea
Woods completed treatment for brain cancer and was able to return home, where he hit the beach with his siblings and made some new friends at the local nature center.
Blazing a new trail
Addyson is in treatment for leukemia, but this summer she was able to go camping with her family.
Checking in
Gideon’s little body was consumed by cancer when he came to St. Jude as a baby. Now cancer free and 4 years old, he regularly returns to St. Jude for checkups. This summer, he gave out some hugs in the hospital hallway.
New heights
Anita is currently in treatment at St. Jude for a recurrence of bone cancer and recently underwent amputation of her leg. But that didn’t stop her from going to camp and zip-lining.
She said, “It was the most extreme thing I've done in my life – it was incredible, and I loved it. There are no limits if you really want to get something done and put all your effort towards it!”
Help our families focus on their sick child, not medical bills.
When you donate monthly, your gift means families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
