Thank you.
Two simple words that mean so much. THANK. YOU.
Thank you for everyone’s support over the years as we run from Memphis to Peoria. Thank you for your thoughts. For your prayers. Your well-wishes, interest, and questions.
This run has special meaning to me and a special reason to do it. You see, I love to run. I’ve long known about the run, and I’ve always wanted to do it. –A bucket list type of thing. But it wasn’t until our niece was diagnosed with brain cancer that I finally said I’m going to participate in this run. That was six years ago.
I’ve always heard that St. Jude is an amazing place. But, I didn’t understand the magnitude:
•At St. Jude, parents don’t have to pay anything. St. Jude wants everyone to focus on healing the children, not worrying about what expenses are covered.
•St. Jude shares all their research and findings with other doctors and hospitals around the world! That’s hard to come by these days! They want to share with a common goal to cure.
•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!
I will be running from Memphis to Peoria again this year. As a Memphis to Peoria runner, my commitment is to raise $3,000.
Thank you for supporting me and sponsoring me on the Memphis to Peoria run by making a donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
