As we enter the season of giving, we are asking our St. Jude friends and supporters in the Ozarks to consider a gift for the kids of St. Jude as part of Springfield Gives to St. Jude. Your support ensures that our lifesaving mission continues: Finding cures. Saving children.® We won't stop.™
We are thankful for your ongoing support that helps ensure 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.
As always, we appreciate your compassion and generosity for the families of St. Jude. Even when we’re apart, your support keeps us together.
St. Jude patient Thatcher with his family
Thatcher's journey
At the young age of 4, Thatcher was diagnosed with stage 4 high risk Neuroblastoma in September 2019. For over a year, he had been suffering from extreme abdominal pain which had been misdiagnosed as constipation and gluten intolerance, among other things. During an ultrasound, a large tumor was discovered which surrounded his aorta and encompassed his adrenal gland and left kidney.
