The Select Medical Corporation Harrisburg Marathon & Relay and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Become a St. Jude Hero today and run for a reason in the Select Medical Corporation Harrisburg Marathon & Relay, being held on Sunday, November 14, 2010 in beautiful downtown Harrisburg. The Harrisburg Marathon is the perfect small town marathon, whether you are running for the first time or are an experienced runner. What better way to feel good about running and completing a marathon than to know that you helped save the life of a child. Become a St. Jude Hero today – a nationwide group of everyday athletes with a common goal of finding cures and saving children. Form a Heroes fundraising team comprised of friends, family or co-workers or sign up and raise funds as an individual Hero.  Run or walk for those that can't – the patients of St. Jude. You will make a difference in the lives of children fighting cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. By signing up as a St. Jude Hero, you will receive support to meet athletic and fundraising goals, while earning great prizes and incentives at various levels. As your St. Jude contact, I will be able to provide you with the tools and information you need to succeed, both through fundraising and through the completion of your endurance challenge! Registration into this program is $25, which goes directly towards your overall fundraising goal. Through this program, you will receive a fundraising packet, personalized fundraising webpage, e-newsletters with patient stories and helpful tips, and free online training program powered by active.com, a St. Jude Heroes running singlet, and depending on interest, optional organized runs with other local St. Jude Heroes. Since there is no fundraising minimum to be a St. Jude Hero, we require our runners to register separately for the marathon itself (at www.harrisburgmarathon.com). St. Jude, founded by the entertainer, Danny Thomas, is an internationally-known center for research and treatment of childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Since opening in 1962, St. Jude has treated patients from all 50 states and more than 70 countries. St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family’s inability to pay. The daily operating cost for St. Jude is $1.5 million, which is primarily covered by public contributions and people like you! To register for the Heroes program, please visit www.stjudeheroes.org and sign up today - this process will take less than 5 minutes of your time. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me at 412-521-2059 or stephen...@stjude.org with any questions.  The Select Medical Corporation Harrisburg Marathon and Relay St. Jude Heroes   Stephen Ginter ALSAC/ St. Jude 2345 Murray Ave. Suite 240 Pittsburgh, PA 15217 stephen...@stjude.org 412.521.2059
