Fearless Fundraiser Friday 💛 | Volunteer Appreciation Week

Today we’re celebrating St. Jude Hero Jessica Sikorski, a longtime and deeply dedicated supporter of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. From the Memphis Marathon to Rock ’n’ Roll Washington, D.C., and races across the country, Jessica shows up mile after mile with purpose, heart, and unwavering commitment.
A public school math teacher, marathon runner, proud dog mom, and passionate advocate, Jessica channels her own mental health journey into hope for others—dedicating every mile she runs to helping save other people’s children. Through fearless fundraising, volunteering, and showing up when it matters most, Jessica turns hard things into hope and makes a lasting impact for St. Jude families.
Thank you, Jessica, for your miles, your heart, and your fearless dedication to the St. Jude mission.

Walk Wednesday 💛 | Volunteer Appreciation Week

Today we’re proud to spotlight Christina Blake, a dedicated St. Jude Walk Washington, D.C. Committee member and incoming 2026 Chair. Christina’s commitment to St. Jude is rooted in a lifelong passion for service—as an active-duty U.S. Air Force officer, fourth-generation military member, and Miss District of Columbia Volunteer 2026. She brings that same heart for service to the Walk, inspiring others and helping ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Thank you, Christina, for leading with compassion, purpose, and action. 👟✨
