Cancer & St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Tonight as I watched TV which I rarely do these days, I saw a program about St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. For those of you who may not know St. Jude is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility anywhere. Discoveries made there have completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases.

Being someone who has just gone through Cancer myself and then watching the children at St. Jude, I am amazed at their courage, drive and determination to beat Cancer. It's hard enough being an adult with cancer and doing all the tests, MRI's, Pet Scans, CT Scans, blood tests and having a Mediport implanted that I can't even imagine the fear a child and his parents must go through facing the same things I had to endure and then Chemo on top if it all.

If God has blessed you with a healthy child won't you please consider donating to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Or perhaps you have a family member who's child has cancer and your wondering how in the world can you help. Well then I think this is an excellent opportunity for you to donate. There are various ways to donate just go to their site http://www.stjude.org/donate and find out how you can help a child in need of hope and your support.

After the show I came and got online to go to their website and noticed under Donations that they are partnered with a large group of Companies across the country that do Matching gifts with their employees. They have a list of companies that do matching gifts won't you please check to see if your company is listed. All you have to do is contact your Human Resource Department to see whether a matching gifts program is offered. If offered, please obtain a form from your company to complete and send to St. Jude for verification of your donation so that your company will match your gift. Some companies double, even triple, their employee's gifts to St. Jude!

If you have healthy children then give thanks and donate today.








Thank you for you time in reading this post and if you make a donation know that you have done an awesome thing.

Blessed are they who give without expecting even thanks in return, for they shall be abundantly rewarded.
