About The Run

“No child should die in the dawn of life.” That is what Danny Thomas, founder of St. Jude Children’s Hospital envisioned when an idea for a children’s hospital first became a reality. Today, area residents are continuing to help him make that promise a reality by organizing the 6th annual Quincy to Peoria St. Jude Run.
On August 6th and 7th , 2010, area runners and volunteers will leave Quincy and run 130 mile course to Peoria, IL to help raise funding and awareness for the St. Jude Children’s Hospital... the entire trek will take just over 21 hours to complete, as they run relay style until they finish at the St. Jude Telethon being conducted at the Peoria Civic Center.

Run underway!

CarrieKimber | August 6th, 2010 | No Comments »

Quincy St. Jude Runners are underway. Red Team ran to Camp Point as the Black Team cheered them on into town. The Black Team is on their way to Mt. Sterling and hopefully the Red Team will return the favor. Weather turned out nice and the kick off at WGEM was great. Hopefully everyone is having a great and safe time!
