Why I support St. Jude:
Thank you for visiting my St. Jude Runs fundraising page!
Nora and I are all in for St Jude, rain or shine. This will be my 7th year running and Nora's 6th.
It truly is the best day of the year and has special significance this year. You could call it an anniversary of sorts. The St Jude run takes place on Robin's and my 28th wedding anniversary this year, and I plan to run all 28 miles. St Jude has impacted the lives of so many, both directly and indirectly, and my family is no different. I have mentioned it before, but St Jude is the reason Robin is in my life. Her family moved back to Peoria from Ohio to be near the St Jude affiliate for her brother, Matthew. Our lives are better for it! I cannot think of a better way to celebrate our anniversary than by supporting the children and families of St Jude and donate. No gift is too small.
We appreciate your support!
St. Jude Runs is more than a run — I’m going the distance to support the mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.®
Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened 60 years ago— but there is still work to be done.
St. Jude won't stop until no child dies from cancer, and neither will we. Will you support me by making a donation today? Let’s cross the finish line together!
