Fighting Childhood Cancer: St. Jude 30 Miles in May Challenge

Starting May 1, I will be participating in St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s “Walk 30 Miles In May” Challenge. I’ve committed to walking 30 miles next month to help raise funds for those affected by childhood cancer and bring greater attention to this terrible disease. 

Funding for St. Jude Comes from Donors

The majority of the funding for St. Jude comes from generous donors. These donations help find cures and treatments for childhood cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Because of these donations, families never receive a bill from St. Jude. No family should have to worry about financial issues due to cancer treatment.

Did You Know? Childhood Cancer Facts

Many of us are familiar with cancer, a disease that has many forms, the ability to affect anyone, and has the potential to be life-threatening. Childhood cancer, also known as pediatric cancer, is cancer in children. While childhood cancer is a rare disease, it’s the leading cause of death by disease in children and adolescents.

Watch the video below to learn some facts about cancer in children.

Join Me in this Great Cause

This challenge is 100% worth it and anyone can participate. You can create your own St. Jude 30 Mile Challenge fundraiser to help spread awareness and raise money. Make sure to join the 30 Mile Challenge Facebook Group to connect with others, learn their stories, and get walking motivation.

If you’d like to make a donation to my fundraiser, you can conveniently do so on my Facebook fundraiser. Remember, every dollar matters!

Thank you for giving kids everywhere a fighting chance!
