AllDeaf is a proud supporter of the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

***Alex*** · 01-20-2011, 09:09 PM

Fellow ADers,

I've always felt very strongly about giving back to our community and helping those who are less fortunate than me. Because of this, today I have pledged to donate every month to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering research and treatment of children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Ranked the No. 1 pediatric cancer hospital by Parents magazine and the No. 1 children’s cancer hospital by U.S. News & World Report, St. Jude is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. For more information and to donate visit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

From now on, when members purchase AllDeaf Subscriptions or other goods, a generous portion of the proceeds will be donated to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

If you have any questions or comments, please post here.

What a kind and generous thing for you to undertake. Makes me even more proud to be a member of AD.

Great idea! BTW, the subscription thing; is it in the planning stage? I was unaware of that feature, and the link takes me to a dead end.

**Rio** · 01-21-2011, 10:37 AM

I am so glad you are doing this

Frisky Feline · 01-21-2011, 02:06 PM

That is a super idea. I like it.

WOW I have always been a contributor to that Facility. They ARE amazing. they do need financial help since they ask little or nothing from the patients familys. ALEX, I have always thought you were an incredable person who spreads himself thin in the interest of making everyone happy, or trying.
This has made me a full fledged fan! smile...Your spirit is as beautiful..as a

That is a wonderful idea to do!

webexplorer · 02-13-2011, 10:14 PM

How nice of you to do that!

I would like you to consider, someday, to donate some money to some stem-cell researches for growing organs such as hearts, lungs, cochlear, and more and even prevent the cancers, too.

Aw, thats great. My husbands cuz had a kid with cancer and they helped saved the childs life, even tho his uncle couldnt pay. Now his uncle has good $ and donates thousands of $ a year.

Awesome!

I admire St. Jude's Research Hospital for their work with children with cancer and other diseases. I see their advertisements on TV now and then and admire how they work with the children and how gentle they are with them. I, however, am on a fixed income and don't have the kind of money to subscribe to AD. Sorry.

***Alex*** · 12-16-2011, 05:53 AM

You helped us do so much

Dear Alex,

Thanks to Partners In Hope friends like you, 2011 was an amazing year for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Your unwavering support, month after month, helped do so many things in 2011 — things like:

7,492 active patients treated
592,383 pharmacy doses given
7,813 diagnostic X-rays
10,432 blood transfusions
4,680 radiation treatments
5,989 CT scans
864 radioisotope scans
9,313 MRI exams
1,649 surgical cases

And the most amazing part is — we did all of this without ever sending any family a bill.

Thank you,

The St. Jude Family

I donated this one every year Christmas. Glad, you brought this up to encourage other people to donation the money for the children's medical expenses.

Happy Holidays !
