St. Jude Flashpoint

  • “If you don’t have a struggle, you haven’t really lived.”

    14 SET 2020 · Sounds like a country song, right? Just maybe because when life gives you a second chance, you live it like Jessica Turri. Like most good Nashville ballads, hers tells an unforgettable tale, from childhood cancer to TV scripts and, yes, country songs.

  • "We put the dolls up on a shelf."

    28 SET 2020 · Everything changed when the cancer diagnosis came for Jessica Turri at 9 years old. But her story isn’t what you think. Not even close. Relive her improbable life – from treatment at St. Jude to the set of a popular TV show, from Nashville TV news to country music – with members of her awestruck family. “I just know I’ve been offered so many chances and I’ve been given another chance at life and I really feel a lot of pressure to make that life count.”

  • "Sometimes I had to go into the back yard and scream."

    28 SET 2020 · When your little girl is this sick, you don’t let your fear or worry show. Jessica’s mom says it over and over – she bottled up her emotions during her daughter’s low points. But those emotions pour out for the first time in this episode as the family retraces its steps to St. Jude.

  • "Cancer had become my life."

    28 SET 2020 · After 2.5 years of treatment, cancer is your life. It shapes your daily routines, your thoughts. In some senses, who you are.

  • "We all wore pink to her funeral."

    28 SET 2020 · Jessica got her name from another special little girl who commanded plenty of attention. So it’s no surprise when she lands her in front of the TV cameras – in Hollywood and Nashville. But even that’s no match for a promise made at the funeral of a friend who didn’t survive childhood cancer. A promise that changes her life. Again.

  • "It was a very big honor for me to be the one."

    28 SET 2020 · Jessica’s life is the stuff of a country song for sure, all that heartache and triumph. All that pain and gratitude. Maybe call it ‘A Grateful Heart’ – something she talks about a lot. And she finds just the man to write it.
