Wow, the time has flow by and it’s time to gear up for another St. Jude run! Once again this year I’ve joined the Peoria Police team and the Chicago To Peoria run. The run will begin on July 31st and we’ll run relay style for 136 miles over the course of 36 hours all to raise money for the children fighting for their lives at St. Jude.
Last year I had an unbelievable year, I’m still not sure how it happened but I raised a personal record amount of over $7,600! All of the runs brought in record amounts of money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Throughout the spring and summer I’ll be sharing many stories of St. Jude, pictures; interviews and sharing how people right here in Peoria are surviving because of St. Jude!
One of the most important reasons why you should donate to St. Jude is because no family ever pays at St. Jude, not for treatment, transportation, and lodging, absolutely NOTHING. In fact families won’t even ever SEE a bill from St. Jude. Let’s face it, when your faced with a life or death situation with your child the last thing you want to know or worry about is “how much it will cost to save them” and St. Jude agrees and takes away the worry so the only thing you have to worry about is getting the best care possible for your child. That best care possible comes from St. Jude.
Will you be my first donor? No amount is too small, I have donations range from $1 to $500 last year and as you can see it all added up to over 7 Grand! http://peoriaruns.stjude.org/annakinkade
