ABCs of Cancer

One of the most poignant stops along a tour of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is the ABCs of Cancer wall, which features letters of the alphabet drawn by St. Jude patients reflecting on their personal experiences battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

These drawings offer an inside look at the variety of emotions and attitudes our patients go through while they’re here.

During the St. Jude Memphis Marathon® Weekend Virtual Experience, these powerful images will be given new life outside the hospital walls. Each of the 26 race course mile markers have art that corresponds to a letter from the ABCs of Cancer wall. As you experience your virtual race journey, we hope these images will move you while you consider the emotional journeys endured by these extraordinary children.
