MN for St. Jude
Minnesota for St. Jude is a digital experience showcasing how Minnesotans support the mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.® Because of the generous spirit of Minnesotans, families will never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so that they can focus on helping their child live.
Help support St. Jude by participating in St. Jude Walk/Run in Minneapolis/St. Paul, held annually in August or September. This is a nationwide 5K hybrid event, taking place in person and virtually, during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month with a focus on ending childhood cancer. Together.
Do your part by registering as an individual, starting a team or joining a team for the Twin Cities St. Jude Walk/Run.

When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was considered largely incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
