There have already been major advances in treating certain cancers because of St Jude's research. I'm not sure the exact type, but one form of Leukemia had a 5% survival rate 30 years ago. Now the survival rate is 95%. Hopefully the donation of Owen's tumor cells can increase the survival rate of kids with Medulloblastoma.

I'm going to call the social worker at St Jude tomorrow and ask her if there is a way to make sure donations in Owen's name go to medulloblastoma research instead of into a general fund.
