What is St.Jude?

St.Jude is a non-profit children's hospital that helps families in one of the scariest moments of their lives. St.Jude treats children from infants to 21 years old. They are most commonly known for treating cancer but they also treat other things like blood disorders and other life-threatening diseases. St. Jude helped the survival rate of 20% go to  90%.  St.Jude won’t rest until they get the survival rate to 100%. As previously stated, St.Jude is a non-profit organization meaning that they do not charge any of the families for treatment, food, transportation, and so many other things that comes with a life-threatening diagnosis. Due to this, they rely on donations to keep doing this. To get funds to do this they have donations open year round as well as do events like the St.Jude Run/Walk and Inspiration 4 which at least one of us have always done one of these fundraisers. These funds raised during fundraisers get put into the hospital to make it a non-profit. 

If your family is in the position to donate from now to November to donate to the St. Jude Run/Walk, it would be greatly appreciated. If between now and then you are not in a position to donate you can do a donation to a non-event if you would like. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask us, we are happy to answer any and all questions that you have for us. You can contact us through social media, text messages, or email. 

Thank you,
