🏅 Endurance Feature Friday Spotlight 🏅 We’re kicking off 2026 by celebrating an incredible St. Jude Hero: Mike Soileau, Gulf Coast and National St. Jude Heroes Ambassador, and the 2025 Hero Among Us Award Winner!

Mike’s journey began in 2015 when a friend encouraged him to become a St. Jude Hero. Crossing the marathon finish line in 2016 changed his life forever. He vowed to live with purpose and put others first.

Since 2020, Mike has helped cultivate 150+ St. Jude Heroes and has been the captain of the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Team, FUNraisers for St. Jude. His team has raised over $1.6 Million for St. Jude! His passion for fundraising, advocacy, and awareness has made a lasting impact on the fight against childhood cancer.

🏆 Winning the 2025 Hero Among Us Award is the ultimate recognition of his dedication: Mike said, “It’s the highest form of gratitude for being a Hero. I’m deeply humbled, grateful, and honored that our work over the last 6 years has been recognized.”

👏 Join us in congratulating Mike for his incredible achievements and unwavering commitment to the kids of St. Jude! Follow in Mike's footsteps and start your own journey as a St. Jude Hero! Visit stjude.org/heroes to learn more.
