What your race means to St. Jude kids
Families never receive a bill
No matter what, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
We won't stop®
When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate in the U.S. from 20% to more than 80%, and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
We're saving children from all over the world
St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states and from around the world.
Make your miles make a difference
As a St. Jude Hero, you’ll get free race entry and race-day exclusives. Plus, your race becomes part of something bigger as you use your miles to make a difference in the lives of kids with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Because of your support, St. Jude can provide children cutting-edge treatments not covered by insurance, at no cost to families.
