Help Colin, Support St. Jude Colin has received the bulk of his care at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which performs invaluable research on childhood cancers and other lifethreatening illnesses and provides its services absolutely free of charge to all patients. We ask that you consider St. Jude for your charitable giving to help reduce suffering and improve the lives of children across the world.
Many of Colin's supporters have donated to St. Jude through Mom's St. Jude Heroes fundraising site (an artifact of the marathon in December), www.mystjudeheroes.org/colin.
