What if we were to tell you that you could get a Totally Awesome Bucket List Worthy Travel Package and help a sick child?  Read on ….

It’s not often that you find big brands that share your same values so when we got the chance to really get to know and learn about Expedia.com we soon realized that they are company with heart and soul. We have been part of their #ViewFinder program since March of this year and it has been a great match for us. The obvious is that they are about travel and we are about travel. What was not so obvious is their unbridled passion.

We recently took a trip to Memphis with Expedia to visit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It was emotional and touching. Seeing the reality of what cancer does to kids is gut wrenching but what St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital does for them is nothing short of amazing. Since opening 50 years ago, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has changed the way the world treats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The hospital has played a pivotal role in pushing U.S. pediatric cancer survival rates from 20 to 80 percent overall, and is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. No family ever pays St. Jude for anything.  For every child treated there, thousands more have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries. It is easy to see why Expedia.com is so passionate about St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

But, nobody can tell the story of St. Jude like the families that are treated there. Meet the children of St. Jude.
