Ian M., a second grader at WHAM, was diagnosed with medulloblastoma over the summer.  He is currently being treated at St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN. We are so thankful to all the doctors, nurses, and staff at St. Jude's for making sure Ian will be able to get back to school as soon as possible. 

In September, supporters from across the country come together for the St. Jude Walk/Run to End Childhood Cancer during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month to raise money for the kids at St. Jude. 

Ian's family has formed "Team Ian" to participate in the  St. Jude Walk/Run in Baton Rouge, September 15th. 

Please join us in showing your support for Ian and his family.  Each dollar goes directly to St. Jude's. ​

We are still grieving the loss of our WHAM family member, Mrs. Linda Gurley Fowler.
