These are the two most emotionally gut-wrenching days of the year for me. Yesterday and today, I am participating in the WSB Care-a-Thon to raise money for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Yesterday, during my first hour, I interviewed a dad whose six-year-old son has brain cancer with the same genetic mutation as my wife’s lung cancer. The child is terminal but continues to fight for a miracle.
Eric, just an FYI. I donated because you asked. I am a STATE FARM Insurance Agent. I submitted a request to SF to match my donation. In checking I noted that SF still has $4500 designated in this category of available money to be matched in 2023. Use your unbelievable power of the printed word to get the message out. David
I have donated every year since WSB has done this wonderful thing. Actually made enough money a couple of years to enjoy your boozy BBQ that was fun even if my hubby doesn’t like Bourbon or Scotch lol. Sat w Belinda at Polo in the Pines my 1st & last polo match and the tour of WSB studios. I appreciate everything you all do to help those precious children. This is worthwhile hopefully they break last years total!
Done!! I can only make one donation per year, and this is it. An honor to do it, with my little granddaughters in mind. They are healthy, but one never knows...
Erick, I am not turning a blind eye by not donating, nor am I trying to toot my own horn. I am fully invested in fighting cancer through a charity that dovetails with AFLAC Cancer and Blood Disorders Center by supporting cancer research at Ohio State's The James Cancer Research Center. Next weekend in Columbus, OH I'll ride my bicycle 184 miles over two days for this cause. Like you, the stories I hear are both heartbreaking and triumphant. Just want you to know that I'm pulling the same plow and believe deeply in this cause.
Bless you Erick for doing what you are going through these days. This past April was the 23 year I have gone without my wonderful wife of many years and it was due to CANCER. It was a totally different kind than Anderson had ever seen. My wife was the first in the US to have it. They finally found that two ladies in Australia had it.
She was a very slim lady that never was over 118lbs. Then 4 1/2 mo. before she passed away. That was when the Cancer started with eating all of her inner organs and she had to immediately go on tube feeding. It just ate her insides and I took care of her at home until two days before she passed. She was down to 68lbs. I would carry her to the car and back when she had Dr. appt. It was 6 mo. after she passed that Anderson called me and they had found out about the two in Australia but still had NO way of stopping this one.
That is one reason I pray for your wife and her cancer as I know some of what you are going through.
Blessings to you and your wife and for bring this to all of our attention about the children.

Donated in honor of your wife. Sending our best from Nebraska!
Done, partially to honor my wife, several senior friends, and me: All of us cancer survivors.
Thank you, Erick.

Donated. Thanks for the reminder.
God bless.
After reading this morning's email, a donation was made in my daughter's memory. Thank you for bringing attention to such a worthy cause.
❤️
I have donated to St. Jude for some time and will keep doing it until I pass away.

I'm sorry, Don. Terrible.
Thank you Tucker, she was so wonderful but we had a daughter that looks very much like her to remind me of her.
Blessings
