St. Jude Decatur to Peoria Run

Hi bloggers!

I am SUPER excited to be participating in the St. Jude Decatur to Peoria Run!!! We will be running from Decatur to Peoria where we will be greeted by the families of St. Jude!!! There is a good sized team of us & I am very very excited!!! I cannot even begin to explain. I have committed to raise $750!!!!! I NEED your help!

Families of St. Jude never see a bill for their stay or treatments. This is made possible all because of the donations made. Without YOU, this is impossible. We need your help. If you would like to do so you may do so here! If you prefer to donate cash/check, come see me & I can make that happen!

I wish I could explain my excitement about this. I just keep thinking of the running and how my mental struggles when I run remind me of the mental struggles a child undergoing treatment may be like. Sometimes I just want to give up. But I can't. I have to keep running. I run for them. Those who can't run. I think about the memories I will make. I have some friends I already know on this team & some I am sure to make friends with. I'm sure we will be laughing along the way. I'm sure there will be tears along the way. This journey will be one I will never forget. One I will cherish for the rest of my days! I think about the faces when we arrive at our destination. I am excited to see the faces we are fighting for. I can't wait to hug a child & let them know I care. They have many who care.

Will you please help me make this possible! $750 is a lot of money to raise, but it's such a small amount of what it costs for St. Jude to run it's everyday operations. We will be running on August 1st. We start at midnight (or maybe 1am I can't remember for certain) & we arrive the next evening at 5pm (approx) We will be running throught the night & the hot summer day. We will have pain, we will struggle but we won't give up. We will fight for these young fighters. These young heroes. Even if you are unable to make a donation at this time, please share this post with your friends & family. Pleas pray for me. Pray that I can raise that minimum & blow it out of the water. Oh how I would love to raise above & beyond!

Thank you! St. Jude thanks you!!
