Lace up those running shoes and dust off your boogie shoes for the first annual Live Like Jack 5K and 1Mile Kids run followed by a post race dance party and arm wrestling competition. 

Why are we doing this?
Our son, Jack was born with a birth defect called bilateral clubfoot which, if left untreated, can impair a child's ability to run, jump and play. Jack also has arthrogryposis and limb differences, which effect his upper extremities and joints.

Through our journey we realized that treatment for these conditions can be costly so we are raising funds to assist families with the cost of care associated with treatments, travel, therapies and adaptive equipment.  

 All funds raised through the Live Like Jack 5k will benefit awareness, research, treatment and management of clubfoot and other musculoskeletal conditions and limb differences. We also donate and support adaptive athletes and those with limb differences and musculoskeletal conditions in activities of sport and fitness.

Last year our proceeds went to Miracle Flights and Children's flight of hope to fly clubfoot and limb different children to treatment and surgeries. We also donated to Able Youth a non profit helping child wheelchair users navigate sports and daily living as well as Hope Walks a charity that treats clubfoot kids in low-income countries. This year we will be donating to Achilles International and other charities that align with our values. 

We aim to support EVERYONE--including those with disabilities, impairments and differences-- in their journey to run, jump, play and ultimately LIVE like Jack. 

We were told when Jack was a baby that he would "never be normal" and we say.... maybe "normal" isn't all it's cracked up to be.
IN A WORLD OF NORMAL, EMBRACE YOUR DIFFERENCES!
