The Mission of the St. Jude Runs
To support ALSAC through community running events, by raising funds and awareness necessary to help the global mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital everywhere to advance cures and conduct cutting-edge research for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases
Why donate to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital?
Many families come to St. Jude thinking it’s like any other hospital, but families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
St. Jude sees more than 8,000 people a year for treatment and research of childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases.
St. Jude by the Numbers
St. Jude has helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate in the U.S. from 20% in 1962 to more than 80% today. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer. St. Jude has achieved a 94% survival rate for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The survival rate for ALL was only 4% when St. Jude opened in 1962.
