We’re proud to donate 10% of all sales to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital!

Why St. Jude? I would love to share my story.

In 2011 my son John (who is actually responsible for developing this website!) got married to his lovely wife Kim and moved to Memphis, Tennessee after accepting a position in marketing at St. Jude. I had often heard of St. Jude, but until I visited him in Memphis, I had no idea of the live saving services they offer children afflicted with cancer.

No parent should ever have to hear the words, “your child has cancer.” As a cancer survivor myself, I could not imagine hearing those words about a child of mine. So began my quest to raise money to support this worthy cause. Every December St. Jude sponsors a run through their campus to help raise funds. 5K 10K, half marathon or full marathon, the choice is yours! I have never been a runner, but at age 60, I decided to give it a try and I completed my first 5K. Every year for the next decade, I would fly to Memphis run along side my son, and finally completed a half marathon one year.

Between us we raised several thousand dollars for St. Jude. Now retired and having a knee replacement my running days are over. It is light jogging or walking for me. However, my commitment to St. Jude still lives on.

I hope you will not only purchase something here, but maybe keep St. Jude in your heart.

God Bless!
