Organiser's description

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.
