This week’s featured runner is Ryan Skender!

2025 will be Ryan’s second year with the Eureka Run, and his wife Adrienne will be joining us this year as well!!  They both previously ran with East Peoria in 2017.  They run “100% for the kids and knowing every dollar raised is going towards helping take care of costs related to treatment, travel, housing, food, etc.”

“My favorite thing about the run is how communities from all over the state come together to help support the cause.  It’s also been a pleasure getting to know additional families in the Eureka community.”

“My favorite part of run day is coming across the downtown bridge, seeing the thousands of people cheering, and giving all of the kids high fives as we finish.”

It was a pleasure getting to know you last year, Ryan, and it was awesome to see how quickly and how well you fit in with our group. Thank you for choosing to be a part of our run family, and for bringing Adrienne in this year as well. We appreciate all your hard work raising money for the kids of St. Jude!!
