Hello everyone, my name is Alyssa Landrum. I am from North Mississippi just south of Memphis, TN where St. Jude is located. I decided to run this marathon to push myself and raise money for this amazing hospital. This will be my 2nd marathon and I’m so excited to mark it off my list. 26.2 miles isn’t easy but it’s a breeze compared to what kids fight through at St. Jude. With St. Jude, so many families get help for their child that they might not have been able to afford without St. Jude and your donations. Your donation helps kids fight cancer and gives them a chance at life. You and I are St. Jude Heroes!!
I am a St. Jude Hero! I have chosen to run for a reason bigger than myself by fundraising for the kids and families at St. Jude. I am training to cross the finish line on race day and with your donation we can cross the fundraising finish line together because the money you donate helps find a cure for childhood cancer.
Did you know:
- Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food - because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
- Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago. St. Jude won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
- St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
Donate today to help me reach my goal. Even when the race is over, the fight to end childhood cancer continues.
