Description

 

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, located in Memphis, Tennessee, is a place of miracles. In October of 2017, my one-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Upon arrival at St. Jude, I felt hope for the first time in months and thanks to the amazing researchers at St. Jude, Keegan was in remission by Christmas of that year. My little warrior has fought through hundreds of chemotherapies, seventeen hospital admissions, and more than a dozen spinal taps! Keegan completed treatment in June 2020 and is now excelling in second grade!

If it weren’t for St. Jude covering the cost of Keegan’s treatment, I don’t know how I would support my family financially. Because of this, I accepted the role as Team Captain for First Horizon Bank’s St. Jude Walk/Run Team and promised to raise $20,000 each year! First Horizon will host its Third Annual Silent Auction on August 22, 2024 and we’d be so appreciative of a donation to maximize our fundraising goal.

If it weren’t for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, my beautiful little girl wouldn’t be here today. Donors like you can help push the childhood cancer survival rate to over 90%.

If, perhaps, you are unable to donate an item, please consider making a monetary donation at http://walkrun.stjude.org/KeeganStrong2024

Thank you in advance for your contribution.
