“Danny Thomas”
A man named Amos Muzyad Yakhoob Kairouz once said, “Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others.” And then he helped built a hospital, people know him as Danny Thomas. He wanted a hospital where kids could go to for free when they’re sick. Because of his strong promise to St. Jude Thaddeus, of hopeless causes he was able to build his dream: St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. Since Danny Thomas has built this hospital the world has become a better place with more children surviving and giving dreams and hopes to others.
St. Jude Research Hospital is helping millions of children thanks to Danny Thomas’s efforts. In the early 1950s, Danny needed people who would support him so he contacted some of his friends and bit by bit an idea of a children’s hospital came together. He then had to raise money and spread his idea. So he and his wife Rose Marie travelled the US asking people to donate to building St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Not only did the Thomas’s raise money, Danny Thomas was able to get his fellow Arabic Americans to form an organization called ALSAC. ALSAC helped raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. They had enough money to build his dream; Danny Thomas finally fulfilled his promise to the St Jude Thaddeus (St. Jude).
It’s been around 50 years since the hospital was created and to this day it still is flourishing and going strong. The cure rate for leukemia was 5% and now the cure rate is 92%. The cure rate for brain cancer is 70% which is exceeding the national average for that cure rate. And studies also show that people who were diagnosis were still thriving after 50 years of been diagnosed (Hanlon). Also the overall survival rate for childhood cancer was less than 20% and now it is almost 80% (St. Jude Website). ‘On March 25, at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Hope Garden, 25-year-old
