St. Jude Walk/Run
September 2022
Our chapter stands with St. Jude because they create more clinical trials for cancer than any other children's hospital and turn laboratory discoveries into lifesaving treatments.
Because St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
