St. Luke's FitOne is coming up quickly and we invite you to join us by going to the FITONE sign-ups.  I've been taking part in St. Luke's FitOne for years and it's just another one of those events that are a tradition.

You can scroll the hours of photos as the community has grown. I watch our listeners in photo collages and them go through relationships, having babies, to getting married. One year their with a group of girls and a few years later there is a stroller. St. Luke's FitOne is back!

It's About The Kids

The money raised by running or walking at St. Luke's FitOne goes back to the St Luke's Children's Hospital. There's definitely a special place in my heart for the St. Luke's Children's Hospital for more reasons than you might know. Our son was actually in that hospital during St. Luke's FitOne two years ago. The nurses and doctors saved our son's life and then some. St. Luke's FitOne is the only Idaho-based, not-for-profit health system that hosts a 5K Family Run, Walk & Stroll, 10K and Half Marathon.

We've spent many nights in that facility and there are some true lifesavers in that building. You can't put a price tag on saving a child's life.

I'd say you only learn from experience and so do your neighbors. I've run into so many listeners in similar situations. The St. Luke's teams need your assistant to help so many people. You only learn from experience and I hope to not have ANYMORE. All of that said we really never know when we might be one of these families. I never thought it would be us until it was...us.

Here's what you need to know for joining our team and kind of the layout for St. Luke's FitOne this year.
