Episode One Cup at a Time: Maelin & Landri's Mission for St. Jude Cover

Beschreibung

Tonight, I’m joined by two remarkable young ladies who are proving that you are never too young to make a difference. Maelin Carlson and Landri Cruse, along with Maelin’s mom, Megan Carlson, will share how a simple lemonade stand has grown into a mission of hope for the children and families served by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. What began with two best friends wanting to help has become a community effort that has raised more than $21,000 over the past three years. We’ll talk about Maelin’s journey as a St. Jude patient, the friendship that brought these girls together, the generosity of local businesses and neighbors, and why they spend all year dreaming up new ways to make an even bigger impact. Their 4th annual lemonade stand will take place on July 11th in Madison, and their story is a reminder that kindness, compassion, and determination can change lives, one cup at a time. Real stories. Real people. Real impact. News That Unites!™️

Make A Difference Minute: The Small Things Matter

On this Make a Difference Minute, we're recognizing Aubrey's Love Foundation as Aubrey's dad, Allen Tucker, shares how his daughter's life continues to inspire others. After Aubrey's passing, her family invited those attending her funeral to write down memories in a memory box. What they discovered was both humbling and life changing. Time after time, people shared stories of small acts of kindness that Aubrey had never talked about. She bought someone a Coke. She quietly paid for a prescription when someone couldn't afford it. She gave from what little she had without expecting recognition. Those seemingly ordinary moments became extraordinary because they were done with love. Allen says those stories helped his family realize that it's often the smallest, most selfless acts that leave the greatest impact on people's lives.

Love Lives On: The Legacy of Aubrey

So many stories deserve to be told because they remind us that love doesn’t end when someone is gone. On tonight's show, you’ll meet Allen, Amy, & Abby Tucker, founders of Aubrey's Love Foundation, as they share the life of their daughter & sister, Aubrey, and how they have turned unimaginable loss into a mission of hope, kindness, scholarships, and support for students and schools across North Alabama. This interview is especially personal to me. My childhood friend, Chad Collins, told me about Aubrey’s Love while he was battling the illness that would eventually take his life. He wanted me to help share this story. Tonight, I’m honored to do just that in his memory. I hope you’ll join us for this conversation about faith, family, resilience, and choosing to let love continue making a difference long after loss. Real stories. Real people. Real impact.

Make A Difference Minute: No One Should Fight Alone

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Camden Reams from Scottsboro, Alabama, as he shares what life is really like living with type 1 diabetes. Camden says managing diabetes isn’t something he could imagine doing alone. The love and support of his parents, Jason and Estell, have helped him face the daily challenges that come with the disease. He also credits his school nurses, Sally Black & Mashara Mefford-Miller, for making sure he’s safe, helping him manage his blood sugar, and giving him the confidence to return to class and the football field. One of Camden’s most powerful reminders is that type 1 diabetes isn’t something to joke about. It’s a lifelong condition that requires constant attention, discipline, and support from the people around you. His story reminds us that while no one chooses their battles, no one should have to fight them alone. If you’d like to support Camden’s journey, visit GoFundMe and search “Help Camden Get Life Changing Diabetes Treatment.” This MADM is brought to you by Premier Structures, Inc., proudly supporting stories and the people who make our communities strong.

Make A Difference Minute: A Legacy that Saves Lives

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Julie Garner, founder of Project Yellow Light, as she shares the heartbreaking story that inspired a national movement for safe driving. In 2007, Julie's 16-year-old son, Hunter, was killed in a car crash. In the midst of unimaginable grief, Julie, her husband, and their daughter made the decision to honor Hunter's memory by helping protect other young drivers. What began as a family's response to tragedy has grown into Project Yellow Light, a nationwide campaign raising awareness about distracted driving. Julie says many young drivers simply don't realize how dangerous driving can be. Some even believe being able to text while driving makes them a "good driver." Her message is clear and simple: when you're behind the wheel, put the phone away and focus on driving. Because no text message, social media post, or notification is worth a life.
