Race Information
The St. Jude Walk/Run to End Childhood Cancer is a national fundraising walk/run during Childhood Cancer Awareness month that helps to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
This family-friendly event helps raise funds to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude, where families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food — because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
