Default St Jude / Spacex

A US billionaire is buying an entire SpaceX flight and plans to take three “everyday” people with him to circle the globe this year.Besides fulfilling his dream of flying in space, Jared Isaacman announced Monday that he aims to use the private trip to raise $200 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, half coming from his own pockets.

A female health care worker for St. Jude already has been selected for the mission. Anyone donating to St. Jude in February will be entered into a random drawing for seat No. 3. The fourth seat will go to a business owner who uses Shift4 Payments, Isaacman’s credit card processing company in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
I attempted to post this in the St Jude thread, but it is locked.
