St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Takes the Lead When it Comes to Defeating Childhood Cancer12/31/2019
For years, among the many charities I have supported, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is the one I find myself drawn to when it comes to becoming a continuing supporter – and with good reason. Who wouldn’t want to support a cause working to relieve and prolong the lives of children having to deal with the cruel outcomes that come with having to fight aggressive cancers? Join in on St. Jude’s lifesaving mission this Thanks & Giving season by donating with your Domino’s order in-store or online.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer.
Quite a few years ago during one of my business trips, I had the pleasure of visiting the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Tennessee. It was a humbling and eye-opening experience for me, since I have never known the horror that cancer brings to a family of a child who contracts the cruel disease.
One of the most important things that is incredibly impressive is the level of support families who are fighting for their child’s fight against cancer receives. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food—because all they should worry about is helping their child live. St. Jude makes it possible for them to focus only on their child without the distraction that comes with having to think about financial burdens.
It will cost approximately $1 billion to operate St. Jude this year and the majority of that must come from generous donors. By sharing discoveries and research findings freely with others, St. Jude is inspiring more collaboration and possibilities worldwide and saving more children everywhere.
Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened over 50 years ago. And they won’t stop until no child dies from cancer. To me, that’s a mission worth supporting.
