You know, you don't go four days and you're not sad and you're not all tired.

We have some fun too.

You gotta have some fun.

You want people to come back, you want people to continue to raise the money.

And that was really captured all aspects of it, I think was really captured well in the documentary of the run.

- Yeah, you have a few teary eyes in the audience on those showings?

- Yeah, I think there were.

- (laughs) A few hundred.

They're Kleenex boxes dispersed throughout the theater, so yeah.

(laughs) - Yeah, it's pretty cool.

- Yeah, myself included.

- Yeah, sometimes it takes something like that to really teach people what it is that not only the run does, but what St.

Jude does for our kids.

And I know as a St.

Jude parent, I'm eternally grateful for everything that you guys do and, you know, will continue to do.

Can you tell us, Mike, a little bit more about all the money that you raise, what it goes towards and who it helps?

- Sure.

You know, St.

Jude's is primarily a research hospital, 66 acres.

You know, when we went in 1982, there was about 400 employees and a seven-story building with a parking lot.

Now it's 66 acres, 5,000 employees, but they still only have about 120 beds or so.

So it's mostly the research that they share freely with anybody in the world that wants it.

If a doctor calls and has a patient and they have a protocol that's open, it's free.

And that, you know, the travel, the food, and the care is all free to the people that have the kids that go there.

And, you know, I think that that's probably one of the big things that keeps most of us involved.

I think if they ever change the model or something, some of us would be a little different.

But I think, you know, those aspects have really made it continue to grow and continue, I think, to get people involved because, you know, there's no shortage of kids with cancer, and there's no shortage of kids with tough cancer.

And those are the ones that St.

Jude takes.

They take the tough ones.

And to see the success rate for overall cancer go from 8% to 75% in my time is unbelievable.
