Why support St. Jude during Eid al-Adha?
Treatments developed at St. Jude have helped raise the survival rate for children with cancer in the United States, where 4 out of 5 children survive cancer. In many countries, however, 1 out of 5 children who develop cancer will survive. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer, no matter where they live.
By 2030, our goal is to cure at least 60% of children with six of the most common kinds of cancer worldwide.
