Knoxville is a destination along a statewide run to raise money for children’s cancer research by a three-time cancer survivor.

Scott Mills is participating in “Run it Forward”, a 10-day event where he’ll run 10 marathons in an attempt to raise $10,000 for St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

Mills started his run in Muscatine Saturday and will complete his journey in Council Bluffs on Labor Day. He’s expected in Knoxville sometime Tuesday, where he’ll stop at Cobblestone Hotel and Suites. Mills encourages runners to join him along his journey.

A link with donation information is available here and a day-by-day itinerary of his route is available here.
