The mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.
St. Jude Heroes participate in some of the world's greatest running events, and we are thrilled to partner with the Houston Marathon Committee for Chevron Houston Marathon, Aramco Houston Half Marathon and We are Houston 5k. When you run as a St. Jude Hero, your commitment to raising funds supports the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving Children.
