To Our Local Twin Cities:

We are so excited to announce the First Annual St. Jude in the Twin Cities Run. As one of the only larger cities in Louisiana without a run directly benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, we feel that itis our time to make a difference! St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is one of the world's premier pediatric cancer research centers with a mission to find cures forchildren with cancer through research and treatment. So many families from our own community have been impacted by childhoodcancer and have benefited tremendously from St. Jude and their commitment that families never see a bill. This can only happen through donations from individuals and businesses like you!! We are determined to build this race from the ground up in order to help St. Jude continue theirincredible work. Here’s how you can help:

The race will begin and end at First West Baptist Church in WestMonroe. A $30 registration fee includes a race day t-shirt and sign-up fee for each participant.
