We are so excited that this young woman is currently up in space with Inspiration 4.
Her story gives us all the feels. From childhood cancer patient, to college student, and now working at St. Jude’s as a Physician’s Assistant with the childhood cancer patients!!
And, what a special moment for the patients that got to video chat with her and the crew in space!!! 🙏🏼💜🧡💜🙏🏼
Knoxville friends, please donate blood or platelets for our friend Neyland. Go to a Medic location near you or come to Central Baptist Church in Fountain City tomorrow (June 9).

We encourage everyone that will, even if not in Neyland’s name, to donate, because your donation could very well save a life! Please Share to spread the word! Give blood, be a hero!

Cheryl Allmon really helped us bring Hearts for Hadley to life. She heard our passion and desire and immediately said, “yes, let’s make this happen!” She still shares our story with other families at the hospital and helps us to help them.

CONGRATULATIONS to all of our Remarkable Women nominees! Cheryl Allmon was selected as this year’s recipient. Each one makes our community a better place. Learn about them here: WATE 6 On Your Side
I can’t think of a more deserving Remarkable Woman! We are proud to know her and all she does to support families of sick and injured children in East TN.
We are working on core strengthening and stamina-both are effected greatly by all the chemo and steroids a child must go through during the course of their treatment (usually 2-3 years). We are almost 4 years post treatment and she continues to get great reports from the lab work they do at her clinic visits.
She’s fallen in love with horses🐴 and rides twice a week as part of her rebuilding therapy. We are blessed!! God has been so incredibly good to our family! We feel your love and support and appreciate your continued prayers for our girl and all the other little cancer warriors.
We are also proud to report that 💜Hearts for Hadley💜 continues to feed families at ETCH during their first week of treatment. As hard as it was to be stuck at the hospital, it was like magic when meals just appeared for us. So, if we can provide a little piece of magic during the onset of diagnosis, we will march on with our mission. If you’d like to help, you can donate using PayPal (heartsforhadley@yahoo.com) or pm for the address to send a check.
Watch this preview of The Cancer Dad Podcast. You might see a few familiar faces. Then listen to the podcast to get the dad’s perspective of childhood cancer. Thank you Jason!

I wanted to share this video tonight to give everyone a glimpse of what our podcast will be about that goes live tomorrow. I’m really excited and anxious about this podcast as my family and others will be putting our story out there about our journeys through the world of Childhood Cancer! Just heads up most everyone will be getting an invite to my page this evening when I go public with it. Up to you if you want to join it but here’s a short clip of what and who is behind the purpose of The CancerDad Podcast! (the wording is a little fast but I can’t edit the speed, sorry).
COVID has taken a lot from everyone this year…. but NOT our giving spirit! Childhood illness is hard at any time, but having a sick child in 2020 has had to be the very worst!!
We could not host our annual Hearts for Hadley Fun Golf & Games this year. But, because of previous generous donations we have been able to continue our mission of serving cancer families at East TN Children’s Hospital by sending meals during their first week of diagnosis.
If you would like to contribute, use our PayPal (heartsforhadley@yahoo.com).
Three years ago we were celebrating big time.
No More Chemo!!!🎉💜🧡💜🎉
Our girl is strong, courageous and kind. Most importantly, she’s a survivor. Thank you to all who continue to pray for her (us) and all our little warrior friends.🙏🏼

Praises! Hadley’s numbers and her heart all look great! Thank you for your prayers🙏🏼
FIVE YEARS AGO our sweet girl was diagnosed with leukemia. We were held up by a community of friends, family and even strangers praying for her recovery.
I will forever be grateful for all of you that got us through it. 🙏🏼
