Missy “hates” running, so why has she run so many marathons? Because of the cause — St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which is treating her daughter, Julie, for a brain tumor. How grateful is Missy for Julie’s care and the research behind it? This year’s St. Jude Memphis Marathon will be her eighth, and overall it will be the 19th marathon she’s run in support of St. Jude.
