You know what? It's September, which means it's Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, which means we got to talk about St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. And we don't just have to talk about it. We want to talk about it because, hey, here's the thing. For the fifth year in a row, Relay is coming together with ATP, although, I mean, there's perhaps a distinction without a difference.

Is that the turn of phrase I'm looking for? Anyway, we're all coming together to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital since 2019. The community has raised over $2.2 million. And actually, oh, breaking news. Oh, it's actually over $3 million, which is incredible. $3 million in the last five years. That's so incredibly cool. And that's thanks in no small part to all of you.

So, hey, here's the thing. What's St. Jude Children's Research Hospital? Well, guess what? They are a hospital that does research, but they also treat kids. And St. Jude is really incredible because they don't charge their patient families for anything. The idea is...

If you're in a position where your child is fighting for their lives, then the last thing you need to worry about is, hey, how am I going to fund that fight? And so it is an opportunity for all of us, all of you that are listening and the three of us, to be a hero for someone. And you can be a hero for five bucks. You can be a hero by sending five bucks to St. Jude at stjude.org.

84.64 - 106.003 Marco Arment

And that can make you a hero for somebody. That five bucks can buy something for somebody, be that treatment, be that some healthy thing to eat or whatever the case may be. It makes a difference. So the other great thing about St. Jude is that they try to do the best they can to make as good a time as they can for their patients and their families. So St.

Jude has actually got their own school, the St. Jude Imagine Academy, which is apparently sponsored by Chili's. It's their own school that spans from preschool through 12th grade for patients who will be at St. Jude for upwards of six weeks. And the staff has trainers trained in English language learner instruction, visual impairment instruction services, a librarian, a STEM coordinator.

124.613 - 128.535 Marco Arment

They even have reading dogs who visit to read with the kids. I don't know how that works, but it sounds awesome.

128.755 - 129.936 David

Reading? Do the dogs read?
