”Over the past several years I’ve met so many of the incredible children receiving treatment at St.
Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” said Michael Strahan. “Their stories are inspiring and their positive attitudes are amazing. The research being done at St. Jude is so critically important, it benefits children across the country and families don’t have to pay for anything. I hope everyone will join me and support St. Jude in the fight against childhood cancer.”
