    Make A Difference Minute: Standing with Harper Jo

Rebecca describes Harper Jo as a bright, playful little girl with a big personality who loves to laugh, learn, and spend time with others. Despite everything she’s facing, her strength and joyful spirit continue to shine. When I asked Rebecca what Harper Jo means to their family, she described her daughter as a guiding light. You can even hear Harper Jo joining our conversation! Behind every childhood cancer diagnosis is a child with a personality, a family who loves them, and a life filled with moments worth celebrating.

    Make A Difference Minute: Building a Foundation That Lasts

    On this Make a Difference Minute, Coach Tremaine Edwards of Liberty Middle School shares why making a difference in a young person’s life goes far beyond coaching a sport. For Coach Edwards, it’s about building character, teaching respect, encouraging communication, and helping young people develop a strong foundation for life. He understands that children will make mistakes along the way, but he believes the lessons they learn from caring adults can help guide them back in the right direction. One thing that stands out to me is his desire to give students the guidance and encouragement he wishes he had received when he was growing up. He wants to be the coach they remember years from now, not simply because of what he taught them on the field, but because of how he helped them become better people. That’s the kind of influence that can last a lifetime. This Make a Difference Minute is brought to you by Athens Bible School, a proud community partner of The Mark White Show.

    Standing with Harper Jo

    Tonight, as The Mark White Show marks nine years of sharing stories and recognizing difference makers, I’m introducing you to 4-year-old Harper Jo Lewter of Ardmore, Alabama, and her parents, Rebecca & Cody. Harper loves cooking, Barbies, Bluey, and her big sister, Rheygan, who will turn 13 on Friday! When their normally energetic little girl began lying around and losing her appetite, her parents knew something wasn’t right. On August 25th, they learned she had B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Within days, they were at St. Jude, beginning a journey no parent expects. Rebecca & Cody share those frightening first moments, the care helping Harper through treatment, and the joy of seeing her playing and being herself. You’ll even hear from Harper during our conversation, a reminder of the little girl at the heart of this story. Join me tonight to meet this family and learn how you can help them through the road ahead. Supporting families like Harper’s is why I continue this effort, nine years after that very first broadcast. You can also subscribe to TMWS podcast on various podcast platforms.

He also shares why a girls basketball team that went two seasons without a win still received his best effort every day. This conversation honors a difference maker while reminding each of us that we have something to offer. Through consistency, accountability, & care, we can help prepare young people for life.

    Make A Difference Minute: Understanding Desmoid Tumors

    On tomorrow’s Make a Difference Minute, UCLA oncologist and sarcoma specialist Dr. Noah Federman explains desmoid tumors, a rare condition affecting approximately 1,500 people each year in the United States. Although desmoid tumors do not spread to distant parts of the body like many cancers, they can grow aggressively into surrounding tissues, causing pain, nerve problems, limited mobility, and sometimes life-threatening complications. Dr. Federman explains why understanding these tumors and recognizing their potential impact is so important for patients like Sandra Miller.

    Make A Difference Minute: Don't Give Up on Finding Answers

    On this Make a Difference Minute, Sandra Miller shares an important message for anyone struggling to find answers to a medical problem. After experiencing persistent numbness and pain in her leg, Sandra was eventually diagnosed with desmoid tumors. Her experience taught her the importance of speaking up, asking questions, and continuing to seek answers when something isn't right. Sandra wants others to know that reaching a dead end doesn't mean they have to give up. Sometimes finding the right specialist and getting the answers you need requires persistence. If you're facing unanswered medical questions, Sandra's encouragement is simple. Keep advocating for yourself. Don't give up.
