St. Jude stories from Texans

Treatments developed at St. Jude have helped raise the survival rate for children with cancer in the United States, where 4 out of 5 children survive cancer. In many countries, however, 1 out of 5 children who develop cancer will survive. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer, no matter where they live.

Why St. Jude: "As a mom, it's hard to imagine my child falling ill… especially with a form of childhood cancer. I think about those parents who hear that devastating news that their child has cancer. I truly believe the words of Danny Thomas — 'No child should die in the dawn of life.' I will forever feel honored to be a part of the St. Jude mission — to cure childhood cancer."

Why St. Jude: "There is nothing more precious than a child’s life.  A child should not have to worry about if they are going to be able to make it to their teenage or adulthood years. St. Jude gives children and their families hope. Hope that one day their research will find a cure for cancer and many other pediatric diseases.
