Organiser's description
On Saturday, August 24th, we will be hosting our 8th Annual RileyStrong Fun Run and 5k, in honor of our amazing daughter, Riley Thomas, that gained her wings on August 26, 2016, just nine short days after her 12th birthday. Riley fought a courageous battle for close to nine months against Rhabdomyosarcoma.
This event is a fundraiser to support St Jude Childrens hospital. The daily operating costs at St. Jude hospital are $2 million. Individual contributions are critical. Because the majority of St. Jude funding comes from contributors like you, St. Jude can focus on what matters most Saving kids lives, kids like Riley and her battle buddies that are still fighting. Please join us in the run to remember Riley and help St. Jude's run every day.
The Start location is at the American Legion Hall in Monmouth.
