Keegan is a playful 5-year-old girl with a lot to say. Her mom said, “She is the funniest thing. She may seem quiet at first, but if you were to get down on the floor with her, she would carry on an entire adult conversation with you.” Her sparkling personality and ability to chat with adults may be partly because she has met more new people than many children as a patient at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Shortly before her second birthday, Keegan was waking in the middle of the night holding her leg and crying out in pain. When the pain moved to her hand and strange bruises began to show up on her body, Keegan’s mom knew something more was seriously wrong. Their local children’s hospital called for bloodwork and the results confirmed what her mom had feared most: Keegan had leukemia.

Thankfully, Keegan and her family were referred to St. Jude, doctors immediately got to work trying to save her life. And because of generous donors, her family will never receive a bill from St. Jude for anything—not for treatment, travel, housing or food—because we believe all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
Keegan’s family is so thankful for the generosity. Her mom said, “St. Jude is a miracle in itself. When you walk down the halls of St. Jude, you see the little miracles running around, and it fills you with so much joy. St. Jude brings these kids in and makes them feel special through the worst part of their life.”
