In today’s world, we have many choices – sometimes, we feel,more than we can handle. Then we are humbled when we learn ofthe choices faced by the parents of the children of St. Jude Children’sResearch Hospital. Their choices involve medicines with frightening side effects –experimental drugs which may not save their child, but will save future generations.

These parents wish their toughest choice was the one you have made to join ustoday. Instead, they have chosen a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, in which theyentrust their children to people who fight for life.

Tonight, remember those who can neither be comforted nor healed...yet. It isthrough the generous donations of compassionate people, such as yourself, thatgreat strides have been made at St. Jude. Today’s fashion show is one of thethousands of ways in which generous people across the nation unite in a commonbond of love and community to realize Danny Thomas’ dream.

On behalf of the committee, we thank you for choosing this particular event on thisSunday afternoon to help us move closer to our insistence that the world MUST becured of childhood catastrophic diseases. And, in the names of those who, throughno choice of their own, cannot be here to express their appreciation, we thank youfor making a difference in the lives of others.

St. Jude FamilyAlethea McIlrath’s St. Jude story began the first week ofJanuary 2004 when at the age of 8 1/2 months she was takento the St. Jude affiliate clinic in Peoria, IL and diagnosed withAcute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Two days later, Alethea andher parents were in Memphis, TN getting ready to do battlewith this deadly cancer. The news of this rarer leukemia andthe need for more radical treatment meant that Alethea wouldhave to remain in Memphis for the full six months of veryintense chemotherapy. The McIlraths became residents of

Target House, an amazing facility designed to house St. Jude patients and theirfamilies who are facing long-term treatment.

Alethea successfully completed her treatment with many struggles and scares alongthe way, but at every step the St. Jude staff was there with their love and expertiseto make the necessary difference between tragedy and triumph. Today, Alethea is2 1/2 years old and has been in remission for 18 months. Alethea continues tohave blood tests locally and returns periodically to Memphis for checkups whereshe marvels at all the people who seem to know her so well and love her so much.

Patti's number one concern is for the well-being of all Illinois families. As a motherof two daughters, Amy (age 9), and Annie (age 2), Patti understands the value andimportance of a healthy family unit. From the moment that Amy was first welcomedinto the Blagojevich family, Patti made parenting her top priority.

Currently, she owns her own real estate company, and splits her time among herfamily, her business and her commitment, as First Lady, to undertaking programsthat will help to strengthen Illinois communities.

• The hospital’s daily operating costs are $1,027,832, which are primarilycovered by public contributions.

• During the past five years, 84.3 percent of every dollar received by ALSAC/St.Jude has gone to the current or future needs of St. Jude.

• Peter C. Doherty, PhD, of the St. Jude Immunology department, won the NobelPrize for Physiology or Medicine in 1996. He shares the award with Rolf M.Zinkernagel, MD, of the University of Zurich. Their findings have led to majorbreakthroughs in the understanding and treatment of viral infections and cancers,and in the development of organ transplant procedures and vaccines.

• Since its inception, St. Jude has developed protocols that have brought survivalrates for childhood cancers from less than 20 percent to more than 70 percentoverall. The current survival rates for selected childhood cancers now include:

Current St. JudeDiagnosis Survival Rate

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) 85%Hodgkin disease (cancer of the lymph system) 90%Medulloblastoma (brain tumor) 75%Wilms tumor (kidney tumor) 90%

• In 1962, the survival rate for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the mostcommon form of childhood cancer, was 4 percent. Today, the survival rate forthis once deadly disease is 85 percent thanks to research and treatmentprotocols developed at St. Jude.

• To treat a child with standard-risk ALL requires a 2 1/2-year protocol at a costof $500,000.

• Each St. Jude patient must be referred by a physician, have a disease currentlyunder study at the hospital, be eligible for a current research protocol and,generally, be 18 years old or younger.
