Firecracker 5k Run for St. Jude

Congratulations to everyone that completed the 12^th annual Comcast Firecracker 5K Run/Walk For St. Jude. Ben Knoernschild snapped the tape in 16:12 and top female was Emmanuel Wilson with a time of 18:52.

The dream started with Danny Thomas and his hope that "no child should die in the dawn of life." Memphis was fortunate to be the site he chose to build St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Our charge is to keep these hopes and dreams alive.
