St. Jude patients aren't fighting imaginary monsters — they're fighting for their lives. Read their stories and look for their familiar faces at an upcoming Warrior Dash near you.
Meet Thompson
“From day one, he has been the happiest baby,” says Thompson’s mom. But Thompson’s parents soon noticed worrisome white reflections in his bright blue eyes.
Meet Tyler
Tyler is full of energy and loves to be social. When he started to feel lethargic in March 2010, his parents knew something was wrong.
Meet Liding
Liding is a very active girl who loves to run cross-country and track. But when stomach pains began to slow her down, she went to the hospital for tests.
Meet Mia
Mia has a vivid imagination, and can always spin a good story. Even an IV bag can inspire a fairy tale with Mia around!
Meet Slade
Slade is an old soul who loves reptiles, especially his pet leopard gecko, Leo. Two days before Thanksgiving, an unexpected diagnosis changed his life.
Meet Mae
Mae loves to play dress up, and there can never be too much glitter. At St. Jude, Mae has found something she didn’t have at her local hospital: community.
