From the moment Christian and his family entered the doors of St. Jude, they joined a team focused on making Christian well—while keeping the entire family strong.

His doctor devised a novel attack plan against Christian's neuroblastoma that included chemotherapy and immunotherapy. His child life specialist explained it all to Christian in language he could understand. His audiologist monitored and helped mitigate the side effects of the chemotherapy. Because of the unsurpassed care that Christian receives at St. Jude, he is able to face each new day bravely.

When he grows up, he wants to be an astronaut and put a flag on the moon. His medical team wants him to get there too. That's why Christian's family and St. Jude are working hard together—as a team—to battle his cancer.
