I'm running in the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend Dec. 3 as a St. Jude Hero to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's lifesaving mission: Finding Cures. Saving Children. I want to make sure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food - because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Carol and I have been Partners in Hope for many years and now are doing this to help the kids.

I had a brother, Billy, who died from Ewing Sarcoma (a bone cancer of the ribs and hips) in the early 60's. Even today the survival rate for this cancer is about 30%. I am sure my parents would have benefited from the help that St. Jude's provides the families today. I need you support to help me reach my fundraising goal. 

Did you know that the daily operating cost for St. Jude is $2.2 million, which is primarily covered by individual contributors? That means your donation, no matter what the size, will help!

Please visit my personal page:   http://fundraising.st.jude.org/site/TR/Heroes/Heroes?px=4021625&pg=personal&fr_id=59186 to make a donation. Or you can go to St. Jude Marathon click on Find Participant, search my name and you will go to my Personal Page. Help me reach my goal of $500 for the kids.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

David Braun
