About St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital:St.
Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world
understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other deadly
diseases. St. Jude has the world’s best survival rates for the most
aggressive childhood cancers, and treatments invented at St. Jude
have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20
percent to 80 percent since we opened more than 50 years ago. St.
Jude is working to drive the overall survival rate for childhood
cancer to 90 percent, and we won’t stop until no child dies from
cancer. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries we make, and every
child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can
use that knowledge to save thousands more children. Families never
receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing and
food – because all a family should worry about is helping their
child live. Join the St. Jude mission by visiting stjude.org or
