MEET DAWN PIERCE: an extended stay at St. Jude has led to a lifetime of legacy and service.
How did you and your family first become connected to St. Jude?
My son, Shae, was a patient from Aug 2000 to March 2001. We have had teams through out the years to raise money for St Jude.
Why do you think it’s important that people fundraise in honor and memory of others?
St Jude is constantly doing research for treatment and shares their research with other hospitals. We want Shae’s legacy to live on in honor of St Jude.
What do you hope that others will learn from watching you in this journey?
We hope our experience will encourage others to raise support for St. Jude.
What do you think made your fundraising efforts such a success?
Everyone loves T-shirts and FTN always makes the process smooth.
If you could tell the world one thing about loving and serving others well, what would you say?
God calls us to bless others and serve others as He would. Make a difference and serve with a servants heart.
