As I’ve gotten older I have realized that there are children all across the world that have their childhood taken away from them. I love the work done by St. Jude and organizations like Up ‘Til Dawn because they not only raise incredible amounts of funds but also awareness for childhood cancer to ensure that no child dies in the dawn of life. St. Jude has raised the survival rate from 20% to 80% since their founding. This phenomenal organization has given me the opportunity to not only help the amazing kids of St. Jude but also meet many people with the same passion and drive as me to help these children."
