Story

For my birthday this year and in honour of my wonderful dad who lost his battle to cancer in February, I'm asking for donations to St. Jude Children's Cancer Research Hospital in Memphis Tennessee. I've chosen this charity because their mission means a lot to me and would mean a lot to Dad too... we lost him too quick and hopefully by raising awareness we can save more lives... Dad was the greatest human and gave with all his heart. He devoted many years to the Chinese Red Cross in China helping thousands of cleft lip and visually impaired orphans. We hope to continue his legacy and give back to those less fortunate than ourselves. It is difficult without him but we know he is at peace, we love and miss him very much 💞

I've included information about St. Jude Children's Research Hospital below, and hope you will donate as a way of celebrating with me, and know that no amount is ever too small. 

Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago. St. Jude is working to drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90%, and we won’t stop until no child dies from cancer. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries we make, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.

Please share .. forever grateful ✨ xx
