St. Jude Give thanks. Walk. at the Philadelphia Zoo

Join St. Jude supporters in the Philadelphia community for the 2013 St. Jude Give thanks. Walk. to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. On Saturday, November 23rd we will come together at the Philadelphia Zoo to help St. Jude change the way the world treats childhood cancer.

Registration for this family-friendly event is free. All participants are encouraged to raise money to help save kids battling cancer and other deadly diseases. Register today at: www.fundraising.stjude.org/philly5kwalk. All participants who register for the 2013 St. Jude Give thanks. Walk. by September 1st are automatically entered into an Early Bird drawing for a $250 gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods.

Your participation will help St. Jude ensure that no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food -- because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. St. Jude freely shares the breakthroughs it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
