Hope. It begins with a single step.

Each year, thousands of seemingly ordinary people do something extraordinary. They combine their pursuit of reaching a fitness goal with their desire to make a real difference by raising funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and becoming Heroes for children around the world.

We need you to be a St. Jude Hero and help save lives. Sign up in three, easy steps:

1Register online now for your next event.

2Receive your confirmation e-mail, and create your personal fundraising Web site.

3Send e-mails to friends, family, co-workers and neighbors, asking for their support through donations. Track your fundraising progress online, and share the journey.

St. Jude Heroes earn great prizes such as airfare and hotel, but the best reward is in the lives of the patients of St. Jude. Help us continue the lifesaving work done at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital by becoming a Hero.
