Speaker 2: Everyone knows the story. This story incredible and it's you know,

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: rather than me tell any of it, let's let her

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: do it, Okay, I think that would make more sense.

00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: Please say good morning to Karen douquay. Hi, Karen, good morning.

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:29,520

Speaker 2: Thank you for having me well, thanks for being had

00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: thanks for being on with us. And it's just so interesting.

12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: We're about to talk, of course about Saint Jude Children's

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: Resehearch Hospital, and of course Karen's son, Jake. As a

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: matter of fact, we're getting texts doing a big hashtag

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: Jakie's Army. We've been getting those all morning, so obviously we.

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 3: Have a big army. So I'm not surprised.

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: Well it obviously it got out that you're going to

18
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: be on today, and I love that.

19
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 4: I love that.

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: So it was two days ago, Danielle here in the

21
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: room with me and Nate. We had hopped on a

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: plane and flew to Memphis to do yet another tour

23
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: of Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital, Karen, and we've been

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: there several times and every single time were reminded of

25
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: the importance of Saint Jude, and we also learned new things.

26
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: And then I heard this morning that you're going to

27
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: be on with us to tell Jakie's story and no

28
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: one can tell it like you. So do you want

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: to just go from the very beginning and share it

30
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 2: with everyone here because everyone's dying to hear this. This

31
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 2: is gonna be great.

32
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: Yes. So when you were at.

33
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 5: The facility, I'm sure you were on the grounds and

34
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 5: there's a big in the middle of the facility in Memphis,

35
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 5: there's a courtyard that has hope, and that's what Saint

36
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 5: Jude provides to everyone. So our son, Jakie, was diagnosed

37
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 5: at four years old with a cancer and it's a

38
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 5: terminal a cancer and it's called the fuse in tristic

39
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 5: ponting glioma and the abbreviation of that is DIPG and

40
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 5: it's terminal. So our son went from fishing on our

41
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 5: backyard to being told that he had a terminal cancer

42
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 5: tumor that they gave us nine to twelve months of living.

43
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 5: We went from being in Miami on a Thursday and

44
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 5: relocating to Memphis, Tennessee on a Sunday.

45
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 3: We were blessed to be able to go to Saint Jude.

46
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 5: And I always say that no one wants to be

47
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 5: part of this world of cancer, pediatric cancer, but if

48
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 5: you are part of it, Saint Jude is the place

49
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 5: to be.

50
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 3: It is like heaven on earth.

51
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 5: And when you're in Saint Jude, it doesn't matter your

52
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 5: economic standing, your ethnic.

53
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 3: Or your religious beliefs.

54
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 5: It is your child is fighting for their life and

55
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 5: they're giving you a fighting chance, all while doing research

56
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 5: for other kids. I am the biggest advocate and cheerleader

57
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 5: and champion for them because I know that a lot

58
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 5: of people speculate does it really go back to the child?

59
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 3: Does it really go back to the family?

60
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 5: And one hundred percent donations go back to the family,

61
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 5: and I am living proof of that. We have a

62
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 5: very big family and an army and a following and

63
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 5: which started this morning.

64
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: Letting you guys know the love and what we did.

65
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 3: It was while we were.

66
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 5: There, and we were there for eight months, we invited

67
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 5: them all to come up because we wanted not only

68
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 5: for them to experience Saint Jude, for themselves, but for

69
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 5: them to also be advocates and champions of Saint Jude.

70
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: We've been able.

71
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 5: To let everyone know and I will to my time

72
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 5: breath know what amazing things they did for us.

73
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: So although our.

74
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 5: Child was diagnosed with terminal cancer, our son had a

75
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 5: fighting chance. But not only that, they took out an

76
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 5: extra viral blood to do more testing to give another

77
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 5: child better odds. You know the amount of research and

78
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 5: the amount of fundings that it takes for these research

79
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 5: to be able to find the cause. And the biggest

80
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 5: thing is is that unfortunately childhood cancer, it's always thought of, oh,

81
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 5: it doesn't happen to my child, or oh, you know

82
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 5: that happens to other people, but it's happening. Forty seven

83
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 5: children daily get diagnosed with childhood cancer and those numbers

84
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 5: are growing.

85
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: It's a scary number. But Saint Jude gave us that hope.

86
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 5: And there's a reason why that that garden is it

87
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 5: has hope in.

88
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: The middle of it. So our experience in Saint Jude

89
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: was amazing.

90
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 5: We lived in ron Madannel House and we were there

91
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 5: and our son we were blessed for her to be

92
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 5: during COVID. So yes, we had our family come out.

93
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 5: But then once COVID got stronger, we didn't have to

94
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 5: share our son, and our son not once thought that

95
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 5: he was dying. In fact, if you, if you buy

96
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 5: any chance to lipped in front of him and said

97
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 5: Jake's sick, he would tell you I'm not sick. God

98
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 5: made me better. So we are our family of faith.

99
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 5: And it's crazy because today is his birthday and exact

100
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 5: today's birthday. Today is nine years old in heaven. And

101
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 5: my daughter is a huge advocate of your show. She

102
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 5: listens to it in the morning commute with her daddy.

103
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 5: Leilah's eleven, So we have an eleven year old.

104
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I just thought back to what we've

105
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: been talking about today.

106
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, listen, she listens to all the shouls and

107
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: all the drama, the roads. Uh.

108
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 5: She loves it though. She loves it, and we are blessed.

109
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 5: Two years after Jak passed, we found out we were pregnant.

110
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 5: We have a rainbow baby.

111
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 3: Host name is Sessi. So we are a family of

112
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: five and we are.

113
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 5: Huge advocates for Saint Jude because the way that they

114
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 5: do things and the way that they care for children.

115
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 3: But most of all.

116
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 5: I always say that the world, if we had a

117
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 5: little bit of Saint Jude and everyone, we would realize

118
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 5: that they have such empathy and compassion for those children

119
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 5: and those parents that are going to somewhere, you know,

120
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 5: basically as a last hope. And I mean in Ronald

121
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 5: McDonald house, we met so many different people and in

122
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 5: the clinics and it's Saint Jude, and you would literally

123
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 5: see whether it be Mormon or you know, people from

124
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 5: you know, from overseas, or you know, people didn't speak

125
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 5: the language. There's blue phones in each of the hospital

126
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 5: of the rooms and basically those phones are translators that

127
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 5: will be able to accommodate any any language that the

128
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 5: family it feels comfortable with. Not only that they do

129
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 5: research for the child, but they did they tested Jakie

130
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 5: on different genes and they found out that he had

131
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 5: something very rare and it was a mutation basically called

132
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 5: our wire one malignant hypothermia, and it basically is if

133
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 5: you're exposed to gas and aesthetics, it's very dangerous. And

134
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 5: they extended that testing to my husband, my daughter, and

135
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 5: myself and me and my daughter have it.

136
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 3: That's some five percent of.

137
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 5: The world has it just because of their research, they

138
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 5: were able to do that to us. So now me

139
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 5: and my daughter now know this knowledge that we would

140
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 5: have never tested for.

141
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: Well that's what you know they do, you know, Carring,

142
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: your point is is so incredible because Saint Jude shares

143
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: info not only with other scientists around the world, around

144
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: the world.

145
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: They were saying when we were there, like they would say,

146
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: like say, we're doing some research on loompho, but then

147
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we see something about another cancer,

148
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: So we might not be doing the research on that cancer,

149
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: but we'll take what we learned and send it over

150
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: to people who are doing the research on what we found.

151
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: And they said, it's just incredible how much sharing goes

152
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: on and how many things we learn from it.

153
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's the thing is, I'm actually on the

154
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 5: board right now of how to share news and reports

155
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 5: and diagnostics with the parents for Saint Jude.

156
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 3: And it's a research that they're doing.

157
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 5: They're always doing research and there's always growing but a

158
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 5: lot of their researchers are past patients, right, so you

159
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 5: know that they got treated there, or a lot of

160
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 5: people that work there were patients, so they got treated there.

161
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 5: And they came back to continue the cause because listen,

162
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 5: it takes we believe it, mustard seed faith, But it

163
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 5: takes so many people to.

164
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 3: Move that needle.

165
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 5: And as long as we're moving the needle for a

166
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 5: cause and avoiding one child to go through something, because

167
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 5: we shared the knowledge and we shared the research, then

168
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 5: why the hell not we?

169
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: You know, that's what's so interesting about this. A lot

170
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: of people listening right now, and maybe parents listening who

171
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: have children who are not going through cancer, maybe saying, well,

172
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if I would ever need to pick

173
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: up a phone and call Saint Jude or do anything

174
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: with them ever again, because I lost I lost my child,

175
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: But Jakie who passed away, you're still on it. You're

176
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: you're fighting very hard for Saint Jude. So can you

177
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: explain to everyone, Karen, to everyone, Karen, why why?

178
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: It's a great question.

179
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 5: I've actually been asked that, Okay, because I didn't lose

180
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 5: my child. My child was My child had a bigger

181
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 5: purpose of which maybe it's harder for me to understand,

182
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 5: but I know he had a bigger purpose, and he

183
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 5: started a movement that I cannot ignore. Look at today

184
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 5: his birthday, I could be selfish and not want to

185
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 5: talk to anyone, but this call of action, I cannot

186
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 5: turn away because Saint Jude did give me a fighting

187
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 5: chance and gave my family that hope that when no

188
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 5: one when basically I was told it was terminal, and

189
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 5: they never.

190
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 3: Once treated him as a terminal patient. They treated him

191
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 3: as a patient that had to fight a chance.

192
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 5: And for those reasons, I will always fight for Saint

193
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 5: Jude and I will always try and my hope is

194
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 5: that one day we do find a research for a

195
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 5: cure for this terminal cancer. Diffuse interesting funds in glioma,

196
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 5: because if that means that one parent doesn't have to

197
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 5: do what we had to do with our child, then

198
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 5: you know what my job here is done.

199
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: And I contributed towards what my son started in US.

200
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 4: And you know what, there's a lot of people that

201
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 4: do work at Saint Jude now that are former patients,

202
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 4: and that's because Saint Jude does have just such a

203
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: high success rate. I'm on the board for the Saint

204
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 4: Jude Country Cares radiothon we do every year where we

205
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 4: turn over our iHeart radio country stations for two days

206
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 4: to Saint Jude and we fundraise and I've been there.

207
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 4: And when you meet the people who Saint Jude has saved,

208
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 4: and when you see the parents who, yes, like you, Karen,

209
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 4: have unfortunately their child lost the battle, but yet they

210
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 4: live on, their memory lives on forever because they're doing

211
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 4: good for other kids. And it's very brave and strong

212
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 4: of you to not say that, you know what, I

213
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 4: lost the battle, I'm going to get out, yet you

214
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 4: continue to fight on in Jaki's memory and that is

215
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 4: absolutely unbelievable.

216
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 3: Amen.

217
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: Amen, absolutely as well.

218
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: Karen.

219
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: Uh oh my gosh, I love that. I love I

220
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: love the sound of children sounding curious, totally plugged in

221
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: with a moment like why are you on the phone, mommy, aget,

222
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: what are you doing? You're talking to Uh? It just

223
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: like we said earlier, it just so happened today, the

224
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 2: ninth birthday of Jakie who was in heaven, and having

225
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 2: you on is just it's a blessing. And to hear

226
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: your passion for Saint Jude, and us having visited Saint Jude,

227
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: we understand why you have the passion even more it's

00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 5: If I can just add, whenever you don'ate, they give

231
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 5: you sometimes the shirt that says this shirt saved lives.

232
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 3: If you ever have a doubt, if you ever have that.

233
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 6: Opportunity to give back, please give back to Saint Jude,

234
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 6: because it does go back to the patients, to the child,

235
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 6: to the parents, and to research most more importantly, So

236
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 6: please get back because I'm I'm living proof that Saint

237
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 6: Jude does give families hope and are doing. You know

238
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 6: that that research light is never off because they're always

239
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 6: trying to find a cure for that next child. So

240
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 6: thank you so much for having me this morning, and

241
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:27,560

244
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll have one too.

245
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 4: Well, there you go.

246
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: You know, every single patient, every single family has a story,

247
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: and you just heard it an incredibly powerful one.

248
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 4: So brave.

249
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: Keep in mind, absolutely keep in mind, families never pay

250
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: a penny all the travels taken care of for them.

251
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 4: They're put up.

252
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: For instance, in the Ronald McDonald House is the one

253
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: where they stayed in Memphis, And by the way, that

254
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 2: is the only Ronald McDonald house in America that is

255
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 2: assigned to a hospital. One hospital.

256
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: They have different rooms for like different sized families too,

257
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: like oh yeah, everything. If you need more than a

258
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: couple of bedrooms, they have it, a longer stay.

259
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: They have it all, and they share the information with

260
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: other countries who are fighting the battle and not winning it.

261
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 2: Like they are winning it the year.

262
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: Their new goal now is like we're doing so well

263
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: here now, thank goodness. And obviously they're still doing so

264
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: much research, but other countries not as good as we

265
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: are here. So that's their new goal is to help

266
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: those other countries and.

267
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 4: Look into the future.

268
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: Not only is it about curing all these different types

269
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 2: of cancers, it's also coming up with ways that these

270
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: currently patients are going to have a great life ahead

271
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: years down the road. I mean, it's so advanced, so

272
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: there's not enough, not enough time in the world to

273
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: learn about everything they do at Saint Jude's. So if

274
