When you reserve, you are helping to fund research that starts in Memphis but is shared all around the world. The hospital there is filled with children fighting for their life.

“When St. Jude started, we were about a 4% survival rate, and now we’re over an 85% survival rate,” Danielle Dunwald, St. Jude researcher, said.

The team is working to make the survival rate 100%.

“To help kids, that is the most important thing, helping the children,” said Dunwald.

Dunwald is in the developmental neurology lab. She says the hospital is changing how research is viewed.

“They really encourage you to, you know, have these wonderful ideas, and they support you, and they said, ‘OK, great. Let’s try this,’ and then, also having the fact that they really push for collaboration working together,” she said.

St. Jude gives her a unique opportunity to see it unfold.

“From the beginning stages of, you know, just kind of research looking at different cells than all the way to the end project where you see this child getting their treatment and saying, ‘Hey, I’m done with my treatments, and I’m leaving St. Jude,'” said Dunwald.

As kids leave to live long lives, Dunwald says she is going to stick around.

“I found my place, and I’m going to be here until my retirement party in 25 years,” she said.

Working toward a day when no child dies from cancer.

St. Jude is known for its research on childhood cancer, but they also have teams looking into infectious diseases, sickle cell disease, and others.
