From Lauren Ryan, Team Captain:

Why I support St. Jude:

Town of Chapel Hill Wellness @ Work

A partnership between UNC Health and The Town of Chapel Hill, Wellness @ Work helps employees thrive, including programs to promote physical activity and connect with others.

We are walking, running, and having FUN with our colleagues to challenge ourselves to move more!

Making memories. Supporting a mission. That’s why our team has signed up to fundraise for the St. Jude Walk/Run. This September, we’re joining the nationwide movement to honor Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and support those who need us most — the kids of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

You can support by making a donation or joining our team! Can we count on your support?

When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was considered incurable. Since then, treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent.

And because St. Jude shares the breakthroughs it makes, every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.

Thank you for supporting us and the lifesaving work happening at St. Jude today. Let’s cure childhood cancer. Together.
