Times Community Newspapers - First-grade philanthropist: "Seven-year-old Mark Burney only had $22 to his name, but he was ready to give it all to the sick children he saw on a St. Jude Children's Hospital TV ad.
'It made me so sad,' he said.
His father, also named Mark Burney, had a better idea.
'I said, 'Why don't you hold on to that money, and then we can find another way to do something for the kids,'' Burney said.
They found a way in the Shamrock Half Marathon, March 17-18, in Virginia Beach, which Mark will run (and walk) to raise a goal of $1,000 for St. Jude."
