‘It’s like the Royal Wedding of St. Jude’

Cancer survivors, co-workers at ALSAC and best friends, marry on campus of hospital that saved their lives

This is a boy-meets-girl story, with complications. Because what love story for the ages ever came off without some complications? And so: Boy gets cancer. Girl gets cancer, too.

He takes up golf, and even plays on the baseball team. “I played first base and centerfield,” he says, with pride. “I wasn’t the kid in right field who ate grass. I was part of the team.”
