Java Jog 5K/10K

The charity partner for the Java Jog 5K/10K is NoaStrong. 

Noa Ramirez, at 16-months old, was diagnosed with Leukemia. 

She has a long road to recovery that will include weekly treatments for the first 6 months and then monthly treatments for the next 2 years. Between these treatments and Lucas’s job as a Dawson County firefighter, Kaleigh has had to stop working for the time being so that she can care for her daughter. Any donation will be greatly appreciated!

Both Kaleigh and Lucas are always the first to step in and help others when needed and now it is our turn to help them.

Please keep Noa and the entire Ramirez family in your prayers as they begin to navigate this journey.
