One Patient.One Crew.One Hope.
Born in Abingdon. Built from gratitude. Focused on helping St. Jude families.
A kid who got help and wanted to give back.
Caden Singleton is an Abingdon resident and Abingdon High School attendee. In July 2026, he was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. Since then, every one of his treatments has been at St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
Caden and his family started Caden's Crew because they wanted to give back to the place that had given so much to them. What began as gratitude has grown into a community of runners, volunteers, and donors who show up for St. Jude families the same way St. Jude showed up for theirs.
The values that keep us moving
Family first
Everything we do is for the kids and families facing the hardest days of their lives.
No bill, ever
We support St. Jude's model: families never pay for treatment, travel, or housing.
Community power
One person can't do much. A crew can move mountains.
Hope in action
We don't just talk about hope — we run, raise, and show up for it.
Transparency
We keep things simple and honest, so every donor knows their gift matters.
Joy
Even on hard days, we find reasons to laugh, celebrate, and keep going.
