Jack’s Jog 5k

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

Jack's Jog is inspired by a sweet baby boy named Jack and his mom's desire to keep his memory alive. On January 27th, 2020, a routine 20 week ultrasound turned the world upside down for Jack's parents, Brad and Jamie.

💔 Journey into Grief

• Challenge: Expectations that their third baby was perfect and healthy turned into devastation and fear.
• Evaluation: Four days later, Brad and Jamie spent an entire day at a higher level of care where they met with several specialists.
• Diagnosis: Three days later, Brad and Jamie received a phone call with their baby's diagnosis-triploidy.
• Uncertainty: There was no way to predict whether he would make it to full term, if he would be born alive, and if so, how long he would live after birth.

🕊️ Remembering Jack

On May 11, 2020, at a routine appointment, they heard the words they feared but expected: "there's no heartbeat." Jack was 36 weeks along. Jack was born still on May 12, 2020, at 6:46pm.

• Memories: Jack's parents and two older brothers spent as much time as they could with him and created many memories that they will cherish forever.
• Mission: Since Jack was born, it's been Jamie's mission to ensure that the world knows about her sweet baby boy that never got to come home.
• Purpose: His little life matters and even though he is not here, he still has a purpose in this world.
