What nickname could we come up with for them?  T-EFRON?  Nah, sounds too much like Teflon.  Anyway, whether it's happening or it isn't, this couple gets the Amy Paige stamp of approval!  They're adorable and how nice would it be nice bumpin' into Zac Effron around town?  What do you think?  Are they or are they NOT a couple?

I hate cancer. I hate what it has done to people I love and more than ever, I hate the fact that children are not safe from it.  If you're a parent like me, you know there is NOTHING you wouldn't do to protect your kids.  No matter how hard you try, you cannot prevent cancer from happening.  You can only thank God for each and every healthy day and pray that you should never know what it's like to watch your child suffer from this despicable disease.  

If God forbid you should one day hear, "Your child has cancer", there is a place of hope called "St. Jude".  They turn NO child away regardless of race, religion, creed or ability to pay.  St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is one of the most magical places you'll ever see. It's where the biggest little heroes go to fight for their lives.  I wish I could take you there so you could see this world of hope and color that revolves around these kids, as the center of their universe is surrounded by getting treatment for some horrendous cancer that most adults couldn't pronounce, but rolls effortlessly off their little tongues.  I'll have to post some pictures for you.  Words can't do it justice.  What I can tell you is, discoveries made by St. Jude have completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. With research and patient care under one roof, St. Jude is where some of today's most gifted researchers are able to do science more quickly and children can live as close to a "normal" life as possible while going through treatment.

Please consider walking/running the St. Jude Country Music Marathon with me.  If you can't join me, please consider making a donation.  Danny Thomas believed that “no child should die in the dawn of life.”  Please, support my efforts for St. Jude and join the fight against childhood cancer in any way you can.
