Frankie's Blog

Share the Life of Frankie… Frankie was your typical 9-year old kid when he was diagnosed with leukemia. As his parents struggled with the news, they were reassured by Frankie’s words, “don’t cry Daddy, everything will be ok.” Today 12-year old Frankie is in complete remission and is learning to play football. His family is forever grateful to St. Jude and has created this campaign out of profound gratitude to the organization that saved their son.

At 1:55 PM, allyson said...: Frankie is friends with my little brother Scottie, who is 10...and I'll never forget the first time they met, through our dads. I came home and like I always do, went upstairs to talk to Scott before bed. I asked him, "So, how'd it go? Is he a fun kid?" Scott just looked at me and with real tears in his eyes (although he'd never admit it)and said, "Allyson, he's probably the strongest kid I'll ever know."

Frankie has an amazing story and he was touched by God in an extrordinary way. In the same way, Frankie reached out and touched a soft place in my little brother's heart. I'm so thankful that someone like Frankie can be friends with my little brother,to remind him how God works in the lives of many.

God Bless
