From: Doug, Jessica and Jada Rumbold (ncfpastordoug@me.com) As you may or may not know our daughter has been diagnosed, treated, and now is in remission for Clear Cell Sarcoma of the Kidney, a very rare cancer. St. Jude has been instrumental in our family - please consider a donation of any amount to an organization to which we are extremely thankful. I will be answering phones July 21st from 8-9 while the St. Jude 35th annual telethon will be televised. Hello! I am participating in an event to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. I need your support in order to meet my fundraising commitment. St. Jude is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Founded by late entertainer Danny Thomas and based in Memphis, Tenn., St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. No family ever pays for treatments not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay. The hospital's daily operating costs are $1.7 million, which are primarily covered by public contributions. You can help me reach my goal by clicking below to make an on-line donation. If you'd prefer to send a check, please e-mail me back and let me know. Checks should be made payable to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. More about St. Jude: - St. Jude treats 260 patients every day on an outpatient basis.
- The hospital maintains 78 inpatient beds.
- On average 7,800 patients visit the hospital each year, most of whom are treated on an outpatient basis.
- During the past five years, 81 cents of every dollar received by St. Jude has gone to the current and future needs of the hospital.
- St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states and around the world
- In 1962, the survival rate for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common form of childhood cancer, was 4 percent.
Today, the survival rate for this once deadly disease is 94 percent thanks to research and treatment protocols developed at St. Jude. Please make your gift today. To learn more about St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, please visit www.stjude.org |
