Memphis wrap star, former St. Jude patient meet on reality show
A friendship between two Memphis women began when they met in a Pennsylvania barn while filming a special St. Jude-focused episode of a competition-based reality show.
Vanessa West, 43, owner of Avenue Wrapping in Chickasaw Oaks Plaza, met Adrienne Myers, 47, a former St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital patient who’s now a digital designer for ALSAC, the hospital’s fundraising and awareness organization.
West applied in 2023 to be a contestant on the first season of “The Ultimate Gift Wrapping Challenge,” a holiday-themed show streaming on QVC+ and HSN+.
