97.3: Explain to everyone your St. Jude experience.

Brook Dupuis: Back in the year 2000 I was diagnosed with a brain tumor called Medulloblastoma. I had one surgery here in Lafayette and two more surgeries in St. Jude to remove the tumor. Then I had chemotherapy, radiation, and many other surgeries. When I came through everything I couldn't walk, I could hardly talk, and I had to relearn how to do many things. I'm back on track now though so it's all good.

97.3: Do you have one great memory of St. Jude?

Brook Dupuis: St. Jude is just incredible. You see little kids running around as if they don't have anything wrong with them. You would expect them to be sad, but they run around and play like there's nothing wrong.

97.3: It's called St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, but it's nothing like a hospital when you walk through the doors.

Brook Dupis: No, not at all.

97.3: Thank you for coming by and sharing your story.

Brook Dupuis: Thank you; I hope everybody picks up the phone and calls that number!
