Hello everyone!
Just a couple weeks ago, I ran my first half marathon! Well, all this running has made me set a new goal. Now, I am planning on participating in a St. Jude's Run on June 31st. For this event, a group of people start in Champaign, and run to Peoria, IL (about 100miles). We take turns running, and riding in a van behind the runners. It will take about 24hours for us to do this run! This event helps raise money for the St. Jude's Children hospital, which tries to find new treatments for children with cancer, sickle cell, AIDS, and other diseases.
My goal is to raise $500! If you are willing to sponsor me, and donate some money to this cause, please visit my website: www.stjudepeoriaruns.org/users/mklu
mp. Click on the orange button that says "Donate Now" (do not click on "Donate to Event.") You can also mail me a check or drop off your contribution! My address is listed below.
I appreciate any amount! If you can't do that, then words of encouragement are still greatly appreciated! I need motivation to keep up my training, as well as to raise money for the sick children at St. Jude's Hospital. I will definitely send you pictures after the event! Thank you!
