Live Like Jack 5k for Clubfoot

About the Event

Join us for the 2nd Annual Live Like Jack 5K & 1-Mile Kids Run—a fun-filled evening for the whole family!

• Post-Race Activities: After the race, stick around for pizza, dance party, snow cones, and balloon character twisting.
• For Everyone: Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering, there’s something for everyone.

Our Story

Our son Jack was born with bilateral clubfoot and arthrogryposis, requiring ongoing treatment and travel for care. In one year alone, we made six trips to Florida for his treatment.

• Recognizing Challenges: While we are fortunate to provide for him, we recognize that many families cannot.
• Live Like Jack: Live Like Jack was created to help change that.
• Doctor's Disclaimer: When Jack was a baby, a doctor told us he would "never be normal."
• Celebrating Differences: We believe that different is something to celebrate—and that every child deserves the opportunity to move, play, and live actively.

Our Mission

Live Like Jack supports children born with clubfoot, limb differences, and musculoskeletal conditions by helping families access essential medical care, travel, adaptive equipment, and accessible activity for all.

• Helping Every Child: To help every child—regardless of ability—move, play, and LIVE like Jack.

Where Your Money Goes

Through our journey, we’ve seen firsthand how expensive treatment and care can be. This event raises funds to support families facing similar challenges, helping cover:

• Access: Life-changing medical care
• Travel: To specialized treatment centers
• Equipment: Obtain braces, wheelchairs, and adaptive equipment
• Participation: Sports and live active, healthy lives

Together, we're helping ensure that every kid can run and play.
