My name is Jennifer Craven and this is the second year for me running in the St. Jude Quincy to Peoria Event! I have been running for about 6 years now and when St. Jude was brought to my attention I was more than willing to fund raise and run for the children!

      This is definitely an opportunity to raise funds for the St. Jude Research Hospital but it can also be an opportunity to run as much or as little as you would like! You can run one leg which would be approximately 2-3 miles or you can run ten legs. The running portion is totally an option to you! If you are not a runner, you may just raise funds and ride along with us to join in the fun! Remember, this is not a running event, it is a fundraiser!!!

      I know a lot of people don't like asking others for donations. I am one of those too! But, when you tell them the donations support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital they are more than willing to give at least a small donation! Seek out companies who enjoy contributing so they can write it off come tax season! Just by asking family and close friends, you can most likely get the majority of your minimum amount!

Handing off our check at the telethon is the most heart warming moment for everyone! You know you are helping tons of children which is the best feeling of all!!
