The St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend is St. Jude’s largest fundraising event.  This year’s race will be virtual, and Andy will again be participating but will try a new challenge – running both a 5k and a 10k.  While he will not be able to see the patients, families, and St. Jude staff lining the sidewalk as he run through the campus, the virtual event will still provide tremendous motivation to continue Sam’s mission to support St. Jude’s life-saving work — Finding Cures.  Saving Children.

Announced on September 27, 2018, a new, 5-year, $15 million collaboration between St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the World Health Organization (WHO) aims to transform cancer care worldwide.  The partnership will marry St. Jude’s technical treatment expertise with the WHO’s authority working with health care leadership and governments across diverse geographic areas.  Their goal: to cure at least 60 percent of children with the six most common types of cancer by 2030.
