  • Résumé

  • St. Jude Storied Lives brings you intimate conversations with the patients and families of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It’s hosted by Joel Alsup. He was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, when he was 7 years old. He was treated at St. Jude in the 1980s. Joel now works at ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude, on the team that shares stories about patients and their families.

    Joel knows how new friendships and second families form at St. Jude – lifelong relationships that become a source of compassion and strength. He also knows that a person’s cancer story is only a part of their entire life story. St. Jude Storied Lives gives you the chance to get to know someone who’s faced difficult moments and learned how to move forward. It’s about what happens after treatment ends and regular life begins again.

    Storied Lives | Lindsey
    Apr 14 2023
    When Lindsey was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, her condition was so severe that doctors wanted her to take an emergency medical flight from her home in Missouri to St. Jude in Memphis.
    But Lindsey refused.

    She was only 10 years old, and she wanted to have that car ride with her family, not knowing how much time she would have left.

    Thankfully, that’s not how her story ended.

    And at St. Jude, Lindsey says she inherited a new family, a huge care team of people who wanted to do more than cure her cancer. They wanted to help her thrive. She says that approach allowed her to preserve the joy of childhood, even as she was fighting for her life.

    More than 30 years later, Lindsey has her own family now, and she’s grateful to be part of a supportive community of friends who know firsthand what it feels like to live through childhood cancer.

    Storied Lives | Mariangeles
    Apr 6 2023
    When Mariangeles came to St. Jude, she was stepping into the unknown. She was from Venezuela. She only knew a few words of English, and she’d never heard of Elvis or his hometown. She also had no other choice: doctors in her hometown had given her a week to live.

    At St. Jude, the treatment protocol saved her life, but it wasn’t an easy road. She was in a coma for several days, and losing her hair later was devastating. But Mariangeles’ mother sat by her side throughout, and eventually St. Jude came to feel like a protective bubble.

    After treatment, Mariangeles stayed in Memphis with her mother. She went to school there and forged a career. For a long time, she tried to leave her cancer story in the past. She didn’t share it with colleagues and new friends, not wanting others to feel sorry for her.

    But now she works for ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude. She’s motivated to work hard for the cause because she knows what it’s like to walk through the doors of St. Jude without anything but hope.

    Storied Lives | Addie
    Mar 30 2023
    Addie grew up in a small town on the state line between Mississippi and Tennessee. It was the kind of place where everyone knew her. A whole lot more people know her now because of her budding musical career.

    Addie is in her last year of college, but she’s already sung the national anthem before big college football games and performed with country music stars. She first sang in front of an audience when she was 3 years old, and music on the radio was part of her daily life as she was growing up.

    She’s been writing her own music, too. Sometimes her songs are meant for friends, to help them through a tough time. Other songs are about her own life – what it felt like to be diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia as a high school freshman, to be treated at St. Jude, to overcome cancer and have a second chance at life.

    Addie says what helped her push through treatment was chasing her dreams of performing and one day hearing her own music on the radio.
