LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- You have an opportunity to help kids with cancer today. It's #GivingTuesday - a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity - and the St. Baldrick's Foundation, the largest non-government funder of childhood cancer research grants has a goal to raise $100,000 to conquer kids' cancer!

Yes, there are so many worthy causes, but what could be more important than saving a life?

St. Baldrick's Honored Kid, Julia, started fighting a brain tumor when she was only 8. After surgeries, chemo, radiation and more, today her tumor remains stable. She's a beautiful 15-year-old who leaves everyone she meets feeling encouraged and uplifted.

"We should help people and give back to others all the blessings God has given us," says Julia. "It makes me feel so warm inside and my heart swells ten times when I volunteer!"
