St. Jude has made such great strides, and they are truly now saving over 80% of the children with childhood cancer, but it’s still the remaining 20% who concern us the most.  To quote our favorite entertainer, Danny Thomas, “No child should die in the dawn of life!” 

We cannot thank all of you enough.  Kevin raised over $27,000 last year for this great cause and we owe it all to you, our great friends and family. This year is the 43rd year for the Run and an all-out effort is being made to raise a record amount for “The Kids of St. Jude”. Every year at this time, we feel Dusty's presence so much stronger than at any other time. We are confident he is looking down with so much pride as he sees his Dad fulfilling one of his personal dreams. There are even several of Dusty's friends (former patients) who say they can feel him safely guiding them as they run through the night. Also, he will get to see his baby sister, Jeri, running for her 17th year. God bless every one of you for helping to make this dream become the most rewarding experience of our lifetimes.  

Thanks in advance for all you’ve done to make his journey so meaningful-
                                                                                              

Love,
