Why I support St. Jude:
Thank you for visiting my St. Jude Runs fundraising page!
This will be my 11th year running with Team Mattoon on our journey to Peoria. Each year we run to raise money for the St. Jude Children's Research Hosptial. We will leave Mattoon on the morning of Friday, July 19th and arrive in Peoria on the afternoon of Saturday, July 20th. I run not only to raise money for this amazing cause but in honor and memory of my parents who passed from their own health issues. If you are able, please consider donating. All funds received help those in need! I appreciate all of your support over the last decade!
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 I. Will you support me by making a donation today? Let’s cross the finish line together!
