- Did you have any interview that stood out and kind of put a dent in your heart?
- Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, I think one that comes to mind, we were talking with a runner who also happened to be a patient, and after we had gotten back to Peoria, we'd gotten into the telethon and everybody was kind of, you know, everything was slowing down and he was getting ready to head out.
And I caught him as he was leaving the parking lot.
And, you know, he expressed that, you know, the run is a great place to heal yourself as well as help others.
And, you know, he had obviously had a firsthand experience with St.
Jude with his family, and, you know, that one really hit me filming that just because, you know, after going through the whole thing and coming out and then having this wrap up and having a moment to think, it was just, it was really impactful for me to be able to talk to him there.
