About Team Mason & Hanger

Team Mason & Hanger is a group of individuals committed to participation in the Derby Festival Marathon and half Marathon in Louisville, KY.  April 26th, 2008.  At this time, none of us have ever attempted anything like this.  Some of us are running 26.22 miles and others are running or walking 13.11 miles, but all of us are committed to pushing the limits.  Check out our personal profiles and check out our individual blog pages to find out more about what makes us tick.

Yes, all of us are a bit nuts, but, we are doing it for a great cause.  We are participating to raise support for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  We will be sweating and working hard for the next 16 weeks, but our effort pales in comparison to the fight being fought by the Doctors, Researchers, and Staff at St. Jude.  They work tirelessly everyday because children all over the world are fighting a battle for their lives.

St. Jude is fully funded by grants and contributions from the public sector.  With an operating budget of over a $1 million dollar/day, one would think that only the most wealthy patient would be seen.  Not true, St. Jude never charges a family more than insurance will cover, and if no insurance is available, the family still pays nothing.

That is where you come in.  You can sponsor any or all of our team by going to the Support St. Jude link.  Our Employer, Mason & Hanger and Parent Company Day & Zimmerman are graciously committed to match donations to help your giving grow.  Of course, your donations are tax deductible so join us in supporting this worthy cause.
