Why I support St. Jude:

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.

I have volunteered to run from Springfield to Peoria, IL with a group of fellow volunteers. We will run a total of 74 miles in order to raise money to support St Jude’s.Please consider a small donation to show support for all those Children and families suffering at this time.

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. As a mother of 3, I would hope and pray others would go the distance to support me and my family if we were ever in that situation. Please help me do the same!! ❤❤
