GERMANTOWN – When Madison and Lindsey Dismuke make presentations to potential St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital donors, they start off all business.
They rattle off statistics about the hospital, document its history and explain where the money goes.
Then they tell the story of a patient named Ingram.
Ingram is 5 years old, and doctors see no signs of cancer in his body a year and a half after he went from complaining about a headache to brain surgery in the span of a week.
Then they hit the audience with their kicker.
