Why I support St. Jude:

Thank you for visiting my St. Jude Runs fundraising page!

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.®

Every dollar makes an impact, and I need your help to reach my goal! Can I count on your donation to help the kids of St. Jude? 

I will match every dollar donated, up to $500. Our part of the team plans to run at least 80 of the 165 total miles (from Hannibal to Peoria). I hope to hit 65 kilometers (40.7 miles), since I hit age 65 this year!

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!
