2007 St. Jude Runners

Runner Profile

  • How many years have you been running?
    I started running in 1994 to lose weight. I was over 230 lbs. I walked to the the high shool race one around the track and thought I was going to die. I kept at it and 3 yrs later I was running marathons. I don't run as much as I used to but I still enjoy it.

  • How many with St. Jude?
    This is my 6th year of running for St Jude. I hope I have many more left in me. It's the most wonderful organization that I know of.

  • Why do you run for St. Jude?
    El Paso is a pretty small town and it seems that we have had more than our share of kids needing St Jude. For most, it's a happy ending. Unfortunatly for a few it's been quite tragic. The loss of Megan Ummel and Gabe Uphoff in recent years is testament to us needing to do more. The strides they have made are incredible. But until childhood cancer (or cancer for that matter) is eliminated then we are not done.

  • Advice for first time St. Jude runners?
    Save just a little for the last run of the day into the civic center. It is one of the most wonderfull experiences you will ever be a part of. Maybe also stay hydrated and change your socks every once in a while

  • Your advice for fundraising?
    Do all you can...it's for such a great cause! Think outside the box-ask anyone and everyone, you'll be surprised. If they won't donate money to St Jude then there has to be something wrong with them!!!!!
