Mary Jane Rutledge Fights Leukemia Through Trials and Hope
The Rutledge family of Dayton prepares Mary Jane a four year old with lymphatic leukemia for a trip to St Jude Research Hospital in Memphis.

The ALSAC backed St Jude combines basic and clinical research to seek better treatments, and the hopeful mother stresses time over tears as she pursues any possible option.
