Hampton Woman Heads Bike-a-Thon The Central Regional Office of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital announced recently that Mrs. Betty Barnes has agreed to chair the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Bike-a-Thon in Hampton. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital was founded by entertainer Danny Thomas. The institution opened its doors to the public in 1962 to combat catastrophic diseases which afflict our children. St. Jude Hospital is non-sectarian, non- discriminatory, and provides medical care to over 4,200 patients. At St. Jude, scientists and physicians are working side by side seeking not only a better means of treatment, but also the causes, cures and prevention of these terrible killers. i All findings and information gained at the hospital are shared freely with doctors and hospitals all over the world. Thanks to St. Jude's, children who have leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, sickle cell anemia, and other child killing diseases now have a better chance to live. The Bike-a-Thon program is dedicated to "Terry." Terry was diagnosed with leukemia in March of 1978, and began treatment at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Today, she is well and off all medication. Terry is a living example of the progress and success of the research, patient care and educational programs of this interna tionally recognized hospital. The funds raised in the Bike- a-Thon this spring will help assure the continuation of the life giving work at the hospital. The concern which Mrs. Barnes has for the work being done at St. Jude is greatly appreciated. The children hope that the citizens of Hampton will wholeheartedly support the upcoming Bike-a- Thon.
