WHY: The benefits of yoga do not go unnoticed at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital where some patients opt to add yoga sessions into their treatment plans to help decrease pain and improve their quality of life.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. Because of fundraisers like this one, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened more than 50 years ago.
