Today registration opened for the St. Jude Half Marathon and boy am I excited! I did this race last December and it was great. It was my first race after my marathon, and I ran it with my dad. What a good experience! The race has a great route, and you get to run through the St. Jude campus. It was so cool to be cheered on by the families everyone was running for. I just can't say enough good things about this hospital, their work or their race. The race is the biggest St. Jude puts on to raise money. This hospital works almost completely off of the donations given by people throughout the year. The more they raise the more they can offer their patients. Did you know that they never turn away patients for financial deficiency? This is why it is so important for people to participate and support these events! Consider registering for this event, and set your date for December 1, 2012. This is the perfect time to set a goal and commit to such a great cause. If you don't think you can do the half or full marathon, sign up for the 5K! I encourage everyone to look into it.
I have signed up to run as a hero, which means that I will be raising donations for the race. I will be posting updates every so often about how my training is going as well as my fundraising. Feel free to check out my page and donate as well! Click here!
