Title: ST. JUDES -- Did you know . . . (Fact 28)
Post by: Larry Surtees on April 30, 2010, 04:00:00 PM

Did you know that the St. Jude's staff believes that hope is essential to life, and that hope can directly influence the well-being of pediatric patients. Hope can help patients make the best of difficult moments and make sense of having a serious illness. Dreams, wishes and goals point toward today or the future, and hope is what drives those thoughts. Without hope, each day can seem uncertain or even scary. Having hope, for themselves or others, helps children and teens cope with hardships.  More on Hope tomorrow.

We all could use some hope now and again, it's special when we can give it to others and who better to give it to then children. I hope we raise lots of $$ for the kids. Great job Larry  :jumper:

The glass is half full or half empty!  i prefer to believe that is half full and rising fast!  The facts that you have already given to us regarding the dramatically increased cure rates for some of these horrible (used to be "hopeless") diseases is a good reason...no a great reason...for them to have hope!
Thanks again for the facts Larry!    :thumbsup:
