Hi Friends, I’m heading towards the “Starting Line Village”. The race begins at 5pm Vegas Time. That is 7pm Texas Central US time! (and 1am in the morning for my Mum and Dad in England). We have reached our annual goal of $5000, thank you to the wonderful donors who have contributed so far. If you’d like to join us on the finish line and help EXCEED our expectations there is still time to donate. We would LOVE to see if we can exceed the $8171 that was raised last year……

Soma Ranch has chosen St. Jude’s as their charity partner since 2020. Together, thanks to generous support of community near and far, we’ve achieved our goal to raise at least $5000 every year: Finding Cures. Saving Children
During the year Soma Ranch offers coffee mornings, special events and classes.
At these events 100% of donations go towards our Finding Cures. Saving Children campaign.
Soma Ranch Co-owner, Helen Terry, runs the Vegas Rock n Roll Half Marathon in February, every year, as a “St. Jude Hero”, as the grand finale of our fundraiser.
Runners who fundraise for St. Jude while training for their race are part of a nationwide alliance against childhood cancer. They’re called St. Jude Heroes.
Many dear friends of Helen and Joe Terry, Nia and Soma Ranch have died from cancer: Dear friends like Liliana (who The Terry’s daughter is named after), Luana Anderson (who helped create and maintain the NiaMoves website as a volunteer), Bill Baun (MD Anderson Wellness Director), Helen’s mentor/ friend and first employee back in the early 1990s.
We are raising and running in memory of these remarkable people . We are on a mission to help find cures and save lives.
Here below is a photo from last year… I hope I finish as strong this time. Thank you, no matter what, we will be finishing the race together. I think of all y’all, the wonderful donors who have helped as reach our goal and help children with cancer.
