Yesterday afternoon during day one of our St. Jude Radiothon, Katie Witsoe of Evansville and her children Conner, Matthew, Anna, and Ian stopped by the studio to share their story of how St. Jude helped them through a dark time when their son/brother Sean was a patient there.
We've heard stories over this first day of our radiothon from St. Jude patients that talk about "the bright colored walls", and how St. Jude isn't a scary place for them or their families. Back in January of last year, I had the opportunity to visit the St. Jude campus and see first hand not only the amazing things they're doing day in and day out to help put an end to childhood cancer and other diseases, but the decor itself these brave young people are talking about.
There's not a parent on the planet that wants to hear the phrase, "your child has cancer". Unfortunately for Greg and Cathe, they didn't hear it once, they heard it twice...in less than a year.
As you may know, 106-1 KISS-FM along with our sister-stations are the Evansville area's media partners for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. One of the amazing things about St. Jude is that they are able to offer their ground-breaking research and treatment of childhood cancers completely free of charge to families of their patients thanks to your donations. As a way to say "thank you", a few of the patients got together for special holiday video.
