Cumulus Radio Bloomington encourages you to register for and donate to the annual St. Jude Walk/Run and We Care Half Marathon!

NEW LOCATION!!! This year the event will be held at Illinois Wesleyan University’s Shirk Center. You can walk, or run, it’s up to you! The 1 Mile Walk is FREE! Timed 5K Race is $25, timed 10K Race is $40, and Half Marathon is $65.

The money raised will benefit the kids of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital where families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
