KRISTOFF ST JOHN AND DAUGHTER LOLA BOWL FOR A CAUSE
Actor Kristoff St John, best known for his role as Neil Winters on Soap Opera The Young and the Restless, took his daughter Lola,6, to KiKi Shepard’s 6th Annual Sickle Cell awareness celebrity bowling challenge on September 18, 2009.
Kristoff is no stranger to life threatening illnesses. His ex-wife Allana is a Type 1 diabetic and because diabetes can be genetic, Kristoff worries that his daughter may develop diabetes in the future.
“Is it selfish to bring a child into the world knowing you could give them a life-altering disease?” Kristoff asked of himself at a recent interview with Real Health magazine. Then he answered his own question. “Yeah, kind of. But it wasn’t just my decision. Now we have Lola on the planet, and she is a cool little chick. I am just praying and keeping my fingers crossed every day that she grows up healthy and strong and never has to know what it’s like to have a condition like diabetes.”

I get upset because were I live in Florida they dont go out of their way to have sickle cell events and Sept. is sickle cell month. My daughter has sickle cell and I have friends with kids with it and there is really know love. I still love me some Kristoff since Bad News Bears!!
My daughter has Sickle Cell as well. How old is your daughter?
OHHHHHHHHH shootttttttt, look at Jalisa from A Different World and KeKe from Showtime the Apollo! They look wonderful, I’m glad they are supporting the cause. I wonder if T-Boz was there as well, she is how I first learned about this horrible disease. Lola is a cute little girl =)
we love you Kris!!!! y&r better not let you go!!!!!!!
Look at KiKi.. Wow! Always looking Great!
Ms.girl you are so right i also live in florida and my mom had this terrible disease (she passed away last month) and it is virtually impossible to find any kind of support for people with it.
