St. Jude patient Rahul with his Ammachi
Rahul lights up when geography is part of the conversation. He has been able to rattle off state and country capitals since he was a child. When he was 9 years old in 2018, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor called craniopharyngioma and underwent surgery. After surgery, Rahul was referred to St. Jude, home to the world’s first proton therapy center just for children.
They took really good care of us. We didn’t have to worry about anything else, and that was a huge blessing.
— St. Jude patient Rahul's mom

Together, we can save more lives.
St. Jude has helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate in the U.S. from 20% in 1962 to more than 80% today.
Yet, around the world, about 1 in 5 will survive. That’s why we’re helping make lifesaving treatments available to more children in more places — because where they live shouldn’t determine if they live.
St. Jude can give our doctors and researchers the tools and technology they need to make the next groundbreaking discovery.
St. Jude continues to research survivorship to learn and share insights to improve care for all patients.
St. Jude conducts clinical trials and publishes research to turn laboratory discoveries into lifesaving treatments.
Ways to support St. Jude
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.

Entertainer Danny Thomas' legacy is founding St. Jude on the principle of equity in health care for children with cancer and life-threatening diseases. When it opened in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1962, St. Jude became the first fully integrated children's hospital in the South.
Every child deserves a chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment. When you support St. Jude, you can help make cures possible for kids with cancer.
