St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

It is amazing to hear about the incredible success stories that St Jude has had with curing cancer throughout the years.

Osteosarcoma is a word that most of us cannot even pronounce, let alone have to live through as a child. It all started with what mom and dad thought was just a swollen knee.

Kate Foster is an amazing teen from Rockford, who also happens to be a St. Jude Children's Research Hospital incredible success story. Kate loves gymnastics, and hasn't let the fact that one of her legs had to be amputated stop her from living out her gymnastics dreams. My friends, this is what courage and determination looks like.

It's that time again! Here's everything you need to know to help the kids at St. Jude with Q98.5.

The treatment goal for every child treated at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is to keep their childhood as normal as possible. Fun is a priority within the walls of the hospital, and so is a child's education. St. Jude performs treatment miracles every day, but that doesn't mean there's no time to make some dreams come true daily as well.

It's that time of year when every high schooler's mind switches into "prom" mode. Every girl becomes obsessed with finding the perfect dress, and every guy becomes obsessed with finding the perfect date. If you know, or are a student, gearing up for high school prom, please think about throwing a party with a purpose to benefit St. Jude kids.

Cancer is an awful disease and worse yet are the side effects patients deal with from having Chemotherapy. One Rockford Woman is using her chemo experiences to help others who are going through it now.

I have never met a person on this Earth who's life has not been affected by cancer. We all hate it, want to beat it, and it was on this day back in 1962 that the World took a great big step to making that happen thanks to a man named Danny Thomas.
