St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is unlike any other treatment and research facility anywhere. The breakthroughs and discoveries made there change the way the world treats children with cancer and other illnesses. St. Jude accepts all patients, regardless of the ability to pay for treatment, making it America's third-largest health care charity. All proceeds of the Lincoln's Trail to St. Jude will go directly to this research hospital to benefit the numerous children who are treated there.

The rain date is July 25.
