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 in the next decade. St. Jude freely shares the breakthroughs
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 St. Jude’s website or following St. Jude on Facebook and Twitter.
