Is today the day I’m going to die? Not today Catie – with Kevin O’Brien

“Today’s the day we have. Let’s see what we can do with it.” – Kevin O’Brien

I had a profound conversation with Kevin O’Brien – now a dear friend – where he shared the inspirational story of his daughter, Catie. Catie’s remarkable journey and her ability to focus on making every day count left a deep impression on me. 

I’m honored to share the story of Catie, a courageous young girl who touched my heart and the incredible work of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This story is a powerful reminder of the critical mission of St. Jude and why we must all support it.
