Last year, we had over 30 runners and raised more than $26,000! Even if you will not be able to join us in September, please consider making a donation to JandyStrong to help support Jake and the Anderson family with the continued costs of physical therapy and medical expenses. Team JandyStrong fundraising here:

In addition to JandyStrong donations, we are currently seeking corporate sponsors for this year’s partnership with Get Up Stand Up 2 Cure Paralysis, a Minnesota-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, whose goal is to expedite a cure for paralysis. Of the money received from these tax-deductible donations, at least 80% will go directly towards curative spinal cord injury research in the Midwest with the remainder contributing to organizational and event costs. Please reach out if you are interested in a corporate sponsorship. Personal donations to this organization can be made here: https://fareharbor.com/run2walk/items/9479/availability/11653192/book/

More information about T-shirts and accompanying weekend events to come… We hope to see you all in September!

Stay #JandyStrong
