The walk/run takes place in 58 cities across the country and helps raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The first races were held on September 17, with the remainder being held tomorrow, September 24.
September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and throughout the month, walkers and runners across America join together to support children at St. Jude during their battle with cancer. Cities hosting a walk/run include Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia and many more. Participants can sign up online and fundraise as an individual or part a team. Runners and walkers can also win numerous prizes, including St. Jude outdoor gear.
“We’re honored to partner with an outstanding organization like St. Jude to provide hope for children fighting cancer,” said Eduardo Zarate, Senior Marketing Director at Bimbo Sweet Baked Goods. “We believe it is important to support the families in our communities during one of the toughest times of their lives.”
