Live Like Jack 5k for Clubfoot

👟 Race Overview

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.

❤️ Purpose of the Event

• Condition Awareness: 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.
• Support for Families: 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.
• Benefiting Causes: 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.
• Charitable Donations: 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.

🏆 Community Support

• Empowering Athletes: We also donate and support adaptive athletes and those with limb differences and musculoskeletal conditions in activities of sport and fitness.
• Helping Organizations: This year we will be donating to Achilles International and other charities that align with our values.
• Inclusive Environment: We aim to support EVERYONE--including those with disabilities, impairments and differences--in their journey to run, jump, play and ultimately LIVE like Jack.
• Embracing Differences: 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.
