Friends Amy and Doug Wright, who work for Consumers Energy in Jackson, have helped organize the St. Jude Race to End Childhood Cancer the past couple of years. Their nephew was treated at St. Jude and it was important to them to make an effort towards finding a cure for this devastating disease.

The race will be held Saturday, September 29, 2018 in Ann Arbor at Concordia University.

If you're thinking, 'Why should I get involved...or donate?', here's why (posted on the St. Jude's Facebook Page:

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. 

Take a stand with us and build a team, join a team, volunteer, or donate to our goal of $150,000.
