It was an impromptu reunion, the kind of get-together that wouldn’t have been promised to either of them 2 decades earlier, when Lindsey Wilkerson and Joel Alsup were childhood cancer patients receiving treatments at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. In 1987, Joel and his family had learned he had osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, which resulted in the amputation of his right arm. 4 years later, Lindsey learned that she had acute lymphoblastic leukemia. “St. Jude saved both of our lives,” she said. Today, both of them are cancer-free — and they both work at St. Jude’s. “Joel and I desire to give these patients the love and care that was given to us at their age,” she said. Joel said that the day Lindsey “walked back through the door at St. Jude,” was the day a friendship was reignited. For about 12 years, they were close friends. Their relationship remained platonic until 2 and a half years ago. “I liked him first,” she said, laughing. “So the ball had been in his court for nearly 25 years.” On September 1, the 2 #cancersurvivors — who were photographed here by @houstoncofield — were married at the hospital.
