(Mike Brown/American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities, St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital via AP)CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – After beating bone cancer, Hayley Arceneaux figures rocketing into orbit on SpaceX’s first private flight should be a piece of cosmic cake.
When she was 10, she had surgery at St. Jude to replace her knee and get a titanium rod in her left thigh bone.
Isaacman announced his space mission Feb. 1, pledging to raise $200 million for St. Jude, half of that his own contribution.
As the flight’s self-appointed commander, he offered one of the four SpaceX Dragon capsule seats to St. Jude.
One will be a sweepstakes winner; anyone donating to St. Jude this month is eligible.
