Jacksonville's Morning News Interviews

Annette joins JMN to discuss how the Child Cancer Fund has made a difference during her daughter Valerie's battles with cancer. Caring for Valerie required Annette to set her career aside, and CCF has been there to help - sometimes it's by taking care of dinner, other times it's buying a tank of gas, or paying a bill. The Child Cancer Fund helps take care of incidental expenses while families focus on caring for their sick child, and that's where your donation can help.

Chase joins JMN to share how the Child Cancer Fund has helped her family during her son Theo's battle with cancer. Fortunately, Theo is in remission, but he and so many other children with cancer may have ongoing health concerns, treatments, and expenses, and the Child Cancer Fund is there to help them.
