When Luke was found to suffer from a rare form of brain tumor called craniopharyngioma, his family traveled from their home in England to St. Jude for treatment. "[St. Jude] is a hospital helping not just Americans. There are families from around the world who are benefitting," said his mom, Monica.
St. Jude shares the breakthroughs it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
