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 1 Mile Kids run followed by a post race dance party and arm wrestling competition. What more could you ask for on a balmy August evening?!

💖 Purpose of the Event

• Inspiration: Just like you, our son, Jack, loves to run, jump, dance and play. He was born with a birth defect called bilateral clubfoot which, if left untreated, can impair a child's ability to walk, run, jump and play.
• Challenges: Jack also has arthrogryposis and limb differences, which affect his upper extremities and joints.
• Support: Treatment can be costly so we felt a calling to start a charity that assists families with the cost of care associated with these conditions.
• Impact: 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.

🌟 Inclusivity

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!
