Junior Cailey Bingham counts down to begin the race. "The atmosphere of the race, despite it being cold, was full of enthusiasm because of the music, dancing and cheering before, during and after the race," Bingham said. "For me, the real countdown was that morning when I was driving down to the Arch, because the closer we got, the more excited I was."

Students listen to a cancer survivor share her story. "The speaker at the race today, aside from being motivational and a perfect example of why STUCO walks for St. Jude's, was the definition of paying back. She had cancer herself as a young adult and is now giving back to the community and St. Jude's by becoming a pediatric oncologist," senior Pranav Vasishta said. "She provided inspiration to everyone participating to give back to the community just as she will."

Seniors Katie Haefner and Tara Robbe play with bubbles before the race. The Bubble Bus, various food trucks and costumed characters were all present as a part of the pre-race festivities.

On Saturday, Sept. 22, Student Council (STUCO) participated in the St. Jude Walk/Run to End Childhood Cancer. 73 students attended the event, and the team raised a total of $1,140.

The beautiful scenery of the Botanical Gardens wonderfully complemented the atmosphere of the festival. One couldn't turn anywhere without seeing someone clinging to these red Japanese umbrellas.
