For years now I have wanted to run in the Memphis to Peoria run for St. Jude. The idea of Co-founders Mike McCoy and Gene Pratt, began with the idea of a way to raise money for their favorite charity, St. Jude. This is a 465 mile run from Memphis to Peoria and will air live on WEEK TV.
This year St. Jude has developed an Internet web site for each runner to raise money. Each participant can sign up on the St. Jude web site, and have their own web page. This page can take donations right from the web. So, since this St. Jude is branching out into the Internet to take donations, I am going to raise ALL my money needed to run ($3,000) off the net. ALL of it.
I have signed up for a Twitter account called stjuderunner. Believe it or not, didn’t see one other St. Jude twitter account. So far, I am the only one. I am using other Twitter accounts I have to get others to follow my stjuderunner account and spread the word with my web page as a link.
To raise $3,000 all of the Internet, I need everyone’s help. Please spread the word. I’m also using my facebook account. I will be putting an Instamapper GPS tracking app on my facebook page so everyone can track my progress as I run from Memphis to Peoria. I will also have it on scottjanz.com.
In the meantime:
Please help raise money for the Children of St. Jude.
Hi Scott, I went to your stjuderunner page, and tried 3 times to view it. It went blank every time after about 10 seconds. I thought you might want to check out why it’s doing that.
Me again:) I got through on the facebook link. Good luck raising the $3000!
Lynn,
It never came up, or it came up then went blank. I don’t have anything to do with that site, but let me know details. I can stop by the office and let them know. Thank you for your donation.
