2025 will be Emily\u2019s third year with the Eureka to Peoria St. Jude Run.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI run for St. Jude because no one should have to experience attending a funeral for a child who has died of cancer, and because I am thankful for St. Jude’s mission and for the lives they have saved.\u00a0 I run for the kids who can’t, with the hope that one day they will be running beside us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy favorite thing about the run is the people–my teammates, the supporters who line the route, the other teams, and the families that welcome us into the Civic Center.\u00a0 I’m proud and humbled to be a part of such an amazing group of people!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI love that this run, created to honor the life and memory of Luke Sancken, has turned sorrow into hope and loss into purpose.\u00a0 What a beautiful legacy to be a part of!\u201d<\/p>\n

Thank you, Emily, for being a part of our Eureka St. Jude Run family!!\u00a0 It\u2019s been great getting to know you these past couple of years.\u00a0 We appreciate all your hard work raising money for the kids of St. Jude and it is great having you out there with us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
