 A Race To The Finish Line

Country music artists showed their support for the annual St. Jude Country Music Marathon last Saturday as Nashville set the stage and welcomed more than 30,000 registered runners from around the world. Martina McBride headlined the post-race concert. John Rich, along with guests Phil Vassar and Megan Mullins, hosted a Sunday brunch for the top 25 St. Jude Heroes who fundraised for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital while training for race day.
