ALL PROCEEDS GO TO ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
Richard and Marilyn Heinie, of Heinie Specialty Products, along with employee Sara Davis are avid St. Jude Children Research Hospital supporters. St. Jude’s sister hospital is located a mere 130 miles from Heinie’s main Quincy office; this close proximity allows them to participate in a fun-filled fundraiser for this amazing cause. The Quincy to Peoria St. Jude Run is a relay style run that covers the 130 miles with runners alternating the various legs that cover the distance. Richard and Marilyn are 4 year veterans of this run, while this will be Sara’s 2nd year to participate.

Sara said, “This run has been a life changing experience for me; just being blessed with the ability to participate and the opportunity to make a difference in even one child’s life is more than enough motivation to cover the miles!” Last year she ran a total of 45 out of the 130 miles.
As a survivor of cancer himself, Richard has revved up his participation and support of this charity by going that extra mile. While he continues to be an advocate of the cause, this world renown pistolsmith pursued others within the firearms industry to donate many parts as well as time to build a commemorative 2010 St. Jude custom built 1911 pistol to be auctioned on gunbroker.com with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the kids!
