My 1st Half Marathon! Running w St. Jude

Hi friends!

I’m running my first half marathon (13.1 miles!) — and I’m not just doing it for the miles, or the muscle cramps — I’m doing it for something bigger.

I’ve joined Team St. Jude to raise funds for the children and families at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where no family ever receives a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Every dollar we raise together goes toward giving kids fighting cancer a real chance at healing, hope, and a future.

I'm sweating and training long hours, but these children face tougher battles every single day — and they do it with so much courage. If they can fight, I can run.

My initial goal is $500, and every donation (big or small) brings us closer to helping more kids beat cancer.

Whether you're cheering me on or donating to the cause — thanks so much for being part of this journey. Let’s cross this finish line for the kids!

With love,
