My daughter, Ellie, was diagnosed with Leukemia on her 13th birthday. Now, seven years later, she's a thriving college student pursuing the career path of a Child Life Specialist—to help those who will go through the same battle she went through. We couldn't be more proud. Nor could we be more grateful to St. Jude. Simply put, they saved her life. And they save the lives of kids just like her every single day. Please consider donating to my St. Jude Walk/Run page.

Did you know?
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food—so they can focus on helping their child live. Because of our generous donors, St. Jude can provide children cutting-edge treatments not covered by insurance, at no cost to families.

St. Jude—with the help of donors like you—have done so much.
When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was largely considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and they won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
