Getting ready to leave Quincy Friday at our Sponsor, County Market
Be a proud sponsor of the St. Jude Quincy to Peoria Run
The Quincy St. Jude Runners would like to thank its sponsors for their generous contributions to our vision and support in saving the life of a child.
Today, St. Jude is the single largest center in the United States for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other childhood catastrophic diseases in terms of the number of patients enrolled in research protocol and successfully treated. Working together, our physicians and scientists have pioneered treatments that have helped push the overall survival rate for childhood cancer from less than 20 percent in 1962 to more than 70 percent today. The survival rate for the most common form of childhood cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, has risen from 4 percent in 1962 to 86 percent today.
On average, 4,600 children are in active status at St. Jude at any given time, each enrolled in one of the hospital's specially tailored treatment plans. Among the diseases treated at St. Jude are malignancies of the lymphatic system (Hodgkin disease), the blood-forming tissues (leukemias), the kidney (Wilms tumor), the bones (Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma), brain tumors, genetic diseases and pediatric HIV/AIDS.
Children who meet medical requirements are treated without regard to a families ability to pay. Families never pay for treatments that are not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay. St. Jude treats most of its patients on an outpatient basis, reserving confinement to one of its 58 inpatient rooms only in critical cases.
The cost of lodging, meals and transportation for the patient and one parent is also covered. Patients in need of lodging stay at The Memphis Grizzlies House, Target House or Ronald McDonald House at no cost to the families.
