Nashville: Charity
What is a St. Jude Hero?
Every year, thousands of people across the nation participate in marathons, half marathons, and other endurance events, but only St. Jude Heroes save the lives of children with every step they take.
For the past 50 years, the doctors and researchers at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have taken steps toward finding cures and saving children diagnosed with cancer and other deadly diseases. And at St. Jude, no family ever pays for anything.
St. Jude Heroes are the men and women who help us continue our pioneering research and lifesaving care by fundraising as they train and run. Together, we’ve helped push the overall survival rates for childhood cancers from less than 20 percent in 1962 to 80 percent today.
