St. Jude patient Addy
4 years old
Brain cancer (anaplastic astrocytoma)
Addy is a little cowgirl. Horses are her favorite animal, and she won’t go anywhere without her boots. At St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, her treatment for a type of brain cancer called anaplastic astrocytoma includes chemotherapy and proton radiation therapy. 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. “I’ve never gone into a medical facility and felt as good as I do about St. Jude,” said Addy’s mom. “We’ve left here feeling like it was family. They’ve made everything that we’ve gone through, even cancer, as easy as possible.
St. Jude patient Bailey

Bone cancer (osteosarcoma)
In 2016, during a cross-country race, Bailey started to have trouble with his left leg. When an X-ray revealed a mass in his leg, identified as a type of bone cancer called osteosarcoma, Bailey’s family turned to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®. 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.
Bailey’s treatment included chemotherapy and surgery. He’s now finished with treatment and visits St. Jude for checkups. Bailey is in seventh grade and likes to draw and play with his dogs.
