American reality stars Chip Gaines and Joanna Gaines have been announced as ambassadors for St Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

The couple will lend support to the #30DaysForStJude campaign ‘encouraging people to learn about St Jude and support its mission’, as well as participate in the annual St Jude Thanks and Giving campaign intended to 'support St Jude patients and families during the holiday shopping season'. Gaines, a construction worker who appears on HGTV's Fixer Upper with his interior designer wife Joanna, commented 'We've had the privilege of visiting St Jude a few times over the years, and every time we do, we’ve been able to see that behind every incredibly brave kid is a loving and talented group of folks leading the charge for how childhood cancer and diseases are treated. We love St Jude for that reason, and of course for the fact that families do not receive a bill from St Jude for care, including treatment, housing, meals, and travel. That’s a mission we are proud to be a part of'.
