Building Hope,
One Event at a Time

💜 Thank You for Making Every Step Count

What an incredible day! Our community came together with strength, compassion, and purpose for the JAK‑L Strides 5K Run/Walk. Every stride, smile, and shared moment honored Julie's memory and helped bring mental‑health awareness forward.

Thank you to every runner, volunteer, sponsor, and supporter who made this event unforgettable — together, we are unstoppable.

💜 Hope to See You Next Year!
