Let s send her a little love and support, Red-River-Valley-style.

If you’ve ever spent any time in the hospital, you know that pretty much all you’re thinking about is getting home again.
But 6-year-old Ava Berthiaume isn’t battling back against the brain cancer, that struck 3 years ago, in a bed at nearby Sanford or Essentia.
She’s stuck in a faraway hospital in Memphis, Tennesee as part of a trial study at St. Jude’s, as an effort to beat back the cancer’s return.
It’s a recent relapse from the High Risk Medulloblastoma she’d been in remission from since 2019.
