I don’t think I have ever asked my readers (cough, are any still out there?) to donate to a cause. Until now. I ran my first half marathon in December 2009. It was benefiting St. Jude here in Memphis. It was, by far, one of the most memorable events in my life. Running through the campus of St. Jude nearly took my breath away. Sick kids out in the cold cheering us runners just proved their courage and strength to fight cancer. Last year, I didn’t sign up to run before it sold out. This race sells out every year, and every year, the sell out comes earlier and earlier. The race is not until December but it sold out in July. I want to do something more this time. I want to know I did more than just pay my entry fee. I am so excited to be running as a hero this year. Can you help me? Can you help the kids at St. Jude? My goal is just $500. It takes $1 million a day to operate the hospital. Any amount helps. You can ask something of me in return if you would like. I am pledging to personally raise money for St. Jude this year.
