Tomorrow at midnight is the deadline to buy a ticket to win a full year of gas and groceries free from Houchens IGA. Ticket sales go to benefit hundreds of families who are being treated by St. Jude, some of them from right here in Bowling Green.

They're taking to the streets, darting around cars, and sticking small yellow notes here, there, and everywhere. It's an effort by over a dozen kids and parents, among them, three stories of fighters

"Robert was diagnosed with leukemia September 10, 2007," says mom Kim Cunningham. "We spent seven months at St. Jude. He went through a bone marrow transplant. His two year old baby sister was his bone marrow donor."

"August of last year, 2007, Brook got up and she was vomiting. Her balance was off," says Mrs. Johnson, describing what happened to her two year old daughter. "She was diagnosed with ATRT, which is a rare malignant brain tumor and after we came home from there, we contacted St. Jude."

"St. Jude saved my life," adds 17-year-old Brad Crumpton. "The Dream Home needs to have people buy tickets. They need help to help people live like me."

The tickets are a little reminder, tomorrow's the last day to purchase tickets to be in the running for a full year of gas and groceries from IGA. Money made from ticket sales go to benefit St. Jude.

This reminder is hard work in the summer sun. Even if it requires a little resting up, these people say getting the message out is worth every bead of sweat.

"Our medical bills for these several months and doctors' bills was almost between a quarter million and half a million dollars," Kim explains. "We couldn't have paid that."

"They gave us our two year old daughter back and I want other families to know St. Jude is there for them," says Mrs. Johnson.

"I think a lot of St. Jude, and I like to work with them," Brad says. "It's just a lot of good people there."

"Sometimes the cancer is considered the beast, and we want to help fight that beast and win that battle," Kim concludes.

If you enter for the free gas and groceries from IGA, you are also entered into the dream home giveaway. Tickets are one hundred dollars each. For more information, visit St. Jude's website at stjudedreamhome.org.
