💜 A SPECIAL CALL TO ACTION FOR OUR RUNNING COMMUNITY 💜

Our running community has a chance to come together for one of our own. Jog for Joan is happening Sunday, September 13 from 11 AM–3 PM, and we’re coming together to celebrate, support, and fundraise for Joan Burton.

Joan was recently diagnosed with glioblastoma and has undergone surgery to remove portions of the tumor. The surgery was able to remove roughly half of the tumor and she is making incredible progress in her recovery, however she still has a long road ahead. Right now, she needs the love, encouragement, and support of her/our amazing community. 💜

Whether you run, walk, or just hang out on with the crew at the park, your presence makes a difference. Together, we can surround Joan with the love and support of the running community and remind her that she is not facing this journey alone. 100% of the proceeds and donations are going to Joan and her family for her ongoing care. It is the hope that the event can help ease the financial burden of medical expenses and allow Joan to focus on what matters most—healing.

👕 AND WE’RE GETTING CREATIVE!
We’ll have a tie-dye station at the event, so bring your own shirt and get ready to make it your own! 🎨

📅 Sunday, September 13
⏰ 11 AM–3 PM
💜 Jog for Joan

Lace up. Show up. Stand with Joan. 💜

Please note, everyone is invited to attend. The "run/walk" portion of the event is merely the activity that connects so many of us but you are NOT required to walk or run to be a part of the celebration. We do ask you to "register" so that communication can be sent to you in advance.

Let’s fill the day with miles, memories, and a whole lot of love for Joan.
Please sign up and SHARE this with a many people a possible!
