The St. Jude Mission
The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures and methods of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with founder Danny Thomas’ vision, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion, or a family’s ability to pay.
Danny Thomas opened St. Jude in 1962 with the dream that “no child should die in the dawn of life.” Since then, St. Jude has helped increase the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80%—and its lifesaving work will continue until no child dies from cancer.
Celebrate Thanksgiving by running for hope, healing, and the children of St. Jude!
