This December I will be doing something I said I aways wanted to do - run a half-marathon!
When your child has gone through cancer with weekly chemo treatments, numerous pokes, loss of hair, loss of appetite, 28 days of radiation, a tumor debunlking and a tumor resection surgery, 2 heart surgeries and a million other actual HARD things, running 13.1 miles doesn't seem to bad and honestly, pretty easy.
In order to make a bigger impact and hopefully raise even more money for a cause that is near and dear to us, a group of my RMH mom friends and I decided to create the "St. Jude Super Mom's" team. I encourage anyone who is interested in running (albeit virtually or in person) or wanting to raise money for a cause to join us. You do not need to be a St. Jude parent to be a part of our team. Our team goal is set at $10,000 and my personal goal is set at $3,000. I hate asking for money AGAIN and please know if this wasn't a cause so near and dear to my heart, I wouldn't but I'm posting my link for anyone who may be interested in donating or sharing my page with others. And if you want to join our team, please comment below and I'll shoot you the team link!
Again, thanks for all of your support. You have no idea how much it means to our family! And to our St. Jude family!
