In memory of Nicholas “Nicky” Mailliard and his courageous fight against cancer.

About Nicky's Week:

* Rich Howland, one of the founders of RA Sushi, created Nicky's Week to promote the research and treatment being done at St. Jude. The event is named in memory of Howland's nephew, Nicky Mailliard, who was treated at St. Jude for ependymoma, a brain tumor.

* When doctors discovered the tumor in December 2001, Nicky's parents turned to St. Jude for their son's treatment. The hospital was able to eradicate the tumor, but only for a short time. By September 2004, the cancer had returned, and was even more aggressive. In February 2005, at age 13, Nicky lost his battle.

* "St. Jude played a critical role during Nicky's illness by providing state-of-the-art care and by providing important information to our family. I want to help ensure that the programs at St. Jude remain available to any family that is forced to deal with the extreme heartache associated with the serious illness of a child," Howland said.

About St. Jude:

* St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is the premier pediatric cancer research center. Its mission is to find cures for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases through research and treatment.

* Since opening in 1962, St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states and around the world.

* St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatments that are not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family’s inability to pay.

* During the past three years, 85.3 percent of every dollar received by St. Jude has gone to the current and future needs of the hospital.

* Working together, our physicians and scientists have pioneered treatments that have helped push the overall survival rates for childhood cancers from less than 20 percent in 1962 to more than 70 percent today.

* The survival rate for the most common form of childhood cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, has risen from just 4 percent in 1962 to 94 percent today.
