Fundraising as a St. Jude Hero

 I am a two time Chicago Marathon finisher. In 2023, I was a St. Jude Hero running to raise funds for St. Jude Children's hospital. I previously ran the Chicago Marathon, in 2006, for the Leukemia and Lympoma Society. I focus on the cancer and specifically St. Jude Children's hospital due to their committment to reseach and sharing the findings worldwide. 

Did you know these facts about St. Jude?

• Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food - because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
• Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago. St. Jude won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
• St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
