Live Like Josh

The Josh Waldrep Foundation is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) started to honor Josh and raise awareness about the condition Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, (CVS). The Foundation is proud to sponsor scholarships to the University of West Georgia, Carrollton High School, and donations towards finding a cure for CVS.

The Live Like Josh event is ready to host 2024 with a 5K hosted on the University of West Georgia Athletic complex. Join us at 6:15pm at the Stadium Concourse to hear memories of Josh and know more about CVS. We will start the 5K from the Athletic Operations Building parking lot at 6:30pm. The 5K will travel around the Athletic complex and showcase the stadium, the wolf statue and several other athletic fields. 

New this year is a 1.1 mile walk option for participants to enjoy that will also start the same time as the 5K. 

Sign up as an individual or get a group to sign up as a team to win a team prize for the most participants in a team. All abilities are welcome. Stay after the 5K to enjoy pizza with friends at the Stadium Concourse!
