Julie Wages with the St. Jude Henry/Stark County to Peoria Run joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the upcoming St. Jude Runs to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Hospitals. Over 2,250 participants are gearing up for the 44th Annual St. Jude Runs on August 2nd, raising vital funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This event draws runners, volunteers, and donors from across the region, each committed to supporting advancements in childhood cancer treatment and research. The goal this year is to raise $60,000. Organizers highlight the sense of community and shared hope that defines the run, as every mile brings children one step closer to a future without cancer. Those interested in joining the cause or participating can get full details at stjuderuns.org. The countdown is on, and the sense of purpose is stronger than ever. You can support the runners on race day by lining the streets from Kewanee to Peoria and cheering the runners. The runners will start at Kewanee Physical Therapy and Rehab, located at 110 E. 10th Street, at 5 AM.
