SamStrong was well represented in the 2014 St. Jude Memphis Marathon/Half Marathon/5k. Dave Keller ran the marathon. Mark Ray and Chris Ray ran the half marathon. In the 5k were Dan and Patty Rucker, Kyle and Martha Willis, Andy, Tammy, and Susan Featherstone, and Evan Daily. All participants were cheered on by Jeri, Emmaline, and Elliete Ray. It was a very inspiring event, with over 18,000 total participants raising $7.5 million. Especially inspiring was the portion of the run that went through the St. Jude campus, where the street was lined by St. Jude doctors, nurses, patients, and families.
