Ellie’s Story

medulloblastoma

On January 10, 2022, Eleano — “Ellie” to family and friends — seemed like her normal self. The very next day, the right side of her face wouldn’t move. An MRI found that Ellie had a cancerous tumor in her brain, diagnosed as medulloblastoma. She was referred to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, where a second MRI found the cancer had spread to her spine. At St. Jude, Ellie’s treatment included brain surgery, chemotherapy and proton therapy. She finished treatment in February 2023 and has remained cancer free. She returns to St. Jude for regular checkups. “St. Jude is the best place ever,” said her mom. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything.” Ellie loves shopping and swimming and can’t wait to start school. She’s a daredevil. “She is the most outgoing, outspoken, smart little girl,” said her mom. “She’s a little spunky spitfire. If they say a 3-year-old can’t do it, she’s doing it.”

With your support, we have raised over $19 million to benefit St. Jude since 2005

What is St. Jude?

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer.

Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent. But St. Jude won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.

Beyond treating children in the U.S., St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes on a global scale so doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands of more children. Part of what sets St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital apart is its unique operating model aligned with its lifesaving mission. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – a feat made possible from the generosity of donors like you.
