Founded 17 years ago by Danny Thomas, St. Jude’s is devoted to painstaking medi cal research and treatment of children stricken with catas trophic diseases, including leukemia, Hodgkins disease and other forms of cancer. The hospital receives assist ance from federal grants and is supported by voluntary contributions raised through such events as the “Wheels for Life” bike-a-thon. This year, healthy children partic ipating in the event will wear a hospital identification brac elet bearing the naine of a patient at St. Jude’s. Thus, they will be tangibly riding for another child. They will also be helping children across the country and throughout the world since the money raised will benefit research that will ultimately result in knowledge about catastrophic diseases.
