In 2021, James was first diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a cancer arising from nerve cells, at 3-months-old. James underwent months of chemotherapy and was able to complete treatment before his first birthday.

Then, at one of James’ regular checkups, scans showed his cancer was back. James' parents, Amy and Rob, had known relapse was possible, but it was still a shock. Now they needed St. Jude for a second time.

Although James continues to receive treatment at St. Jude, he brings joy and a sprinkle of mischief wherever he goes. “He just loves to get into everything. He loves singing and dancing. His dancing is great because he just dances like nobody's watching,” said Rob.

We're all here for a short while. What's going to be what you’re remembered by? Make it meaningful. Make it impactful. You may never know what impact your actions today will have on the future.

—James' mom, Amy
