Many of us come from areas with great medical schools and teaching hospitals. Cincinnati Children's has been in the top five Childrens's hospitals in the country for several different specialties in the last decade or more.
Our family had reason to benefit from their expertise and kindness many times and our daughter who is 53 still goes for check up's to the adult congenital heart clinic at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
Having said that, I do not fault St. Jude's for their fund raising. Although I am wary of most Go Fund Me's and will ask questions about fund raising for rare diseases. Scams still do happen and money sometimes doesn't get to the right hands.
I find myself wondering if Jennifer Anniston is paid for the St. Jude Commercials, she seems so genuine and I like her as an actress and I am hoping she does it for nothing.
I never fault a little healthy skepticism. It is wise to know where our money goes. Most of us worked hard for it.
