First-Time Run in the St. Jude Memphis Marathon®
The cancer survivor was overcome with recollections of her treatment at St. Jude when the half-marathon route passed past the hospital’s grounds. “I teared up a little bit, just because I witnessed the amazing passion from the families that were there, and I just saw the support,” the speaker admitted. Although I don’t know them, you could tell they were all full of love and support, Katherin said. She was astounded at the individuals who participated in the race, the largest one-day fundraising event for the research hospital, and the excitement and intensity of the event. The St. Jude Memphis Marathon® Weekend has raised more than $100 million for St. Jude’s life-saving work since it first began. “Their support really means the world to us as a St. Jude patient and survivor,” the patient said. Because St. Jude gives patients and their families hope, Katherin remarked. Katherin, who is now 27 years old, initially had chest trouble during her second year of college. She hadn’t done weight training before, but her college soccer squad had. She could have overdone it with the weights, therefore the coaches and trainers advised her to use smaller weights. But the discomfort persisted. She soon discovered a bump on her sternum, the bone in the middle of her chest. She was directed to St. Jude after doctors concluded that she had cancer. She immediately felt at peace at St. Jude. We are on a mission to raise $25K for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital this year! Your Referrals HELP!
