Full Episode
John is hacking up a lung over here.
Yeah, John is very unwell. And I didn't find this out, or we didn't find this out until, I don't know, two minutes ago. So if this episode is only 15 minutes long, it's because we're taking pity on our good friend. And if it's hugely long, then it's like every time I feel unwell. So we'll see what happens. It is September, which means it's Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
I feel like I didn't pronounce any of that with all the letters and the words, but here we go. We're doing it live. So I'm going to vamp while I pull up the official ad read and tell you that, hey, there are a lot of children that are unwell, and that's not okay. And a lot of them have some flavor of cancer, and that is also not okay.
And so we are part of Relay and we're also partnering with Relay. We're partnering with ourselves. I don't know. Just go with it. So we, Relay, have raised over $3 million over the last five years, starting in 2019. Wow. It's bananas. It's absolutely bananas. And because of that, Relay is going to have their name put on like this... It's more than a plaque, but put on like this board in the St.
Jude campus for all the corporate and personal donators that have just gone above and beyond. And that's super incredibly cool. And so... What we are doing is we're trying to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. St. Jude does incredible, phenomenal work, and they do it in such a way that it affects people all over the world. So St. Jude is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee.
I will be there in a couple of weeks when Relay does their 12-hour podcast-a-thon. You can watch me melt into a puddle over the course of those 12 hours as I do everything I can to raise more money for these six children. But Here's the thing, St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states and around the world.
90% of the children at risk of developing cancer live in low- and middle-income countries. That is unacceptable to St. Jude, and you know what? It's unacceptable to us. So that's why St. Jude launched St. Jude Global. That way, every child with cancer, no matter where they live, and also other catastrophic diseases, by the way, they have access to quality care and treatment. So when I was at St.
Jude in April, for the PlayLive Summit, they brought several different people on stage, and some of them were survivors and St.
Jude patients, some of them were family members, and the number of stories that we saw, actually not just on stage, but just in general with the people we met, the number of stories we saw where it was something along the lines of, I am in some foreign country, I have done everything that my country knows how to do with regard to either my cancer or my child's cancer or my brother's cancer,
