Local family credits St. Jude for saving toddler's life

When 3-month-old Hannah couldn't look up without moving her head her family knew something was wrong.

Mom Elizabeth, from northern Kansas, said St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital hadn't opened up research on Hannah’s type of cancer but they were getting ready to and had a chemotherapy protocol.

When Hannah arrived in Memphis in 2020 Elizabeth said many of the amenities that families take advantage of today weren't open because of COVID-19, but she said she still benefited from talking to other parents on campus while her child received life-saving care.

Now, Elizabeth says Hannah is an independent 3-year-old and has had no evidence of disease since she was a little over 1 years old.
