On August 6th, St. Juderuns taking place throughout the Midwest will conclude at the Peoria CivicCenter. That day, we will be running from Galesburg – Ashley’s hometown. Wewill cross the finish line on live television during the St. Jude Children’sResearch Hospital Regional Telethon. It is truly an electric and life-alteringexperience!

We are both challenging ourselvesto finish the race and run as many miles as possible. Each year, we run over 25miles each in the one day run!
