Why I support St. Jude:
Thank you for visiting my St. Jude Runs fundraising page! My son Lucas at just one month old was put in the hospital with RSV, then again at 3 years old he spent another week in the ICU in Peoria with RSV. These two weeks were intense and incredibly agonizing as a mom. They were the scariest weeks, yet luckily they were just two weeks and we were able to go home with a healthy boy each time. My heart aches for those parents who are fighting the fight with their kids with so much uncertainty and so much fear. I want to stand with parents and kids to help the hardest weeks, months or years of their lives result in just a season where they too can bring home a healthy child.
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?
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!
