Everyone say hello to Jacob!!! 😎

Jacob and Team Jacob's Journey are so excited to participate in the Raleigh Run for Rare for the 3rd year in a row. This team was born after we receiving Jacob's diagnosis in March of 2020. His parents shared with us the following message!

"While this diagnosis is devastating, the community we have found within the society and with other families is unlike any other. While the virtual option has been amazing for our family and friends near and far, we cannot wait to connect in person this year!”

We can't wait to see Jacob's Journey and all the other teams in just a couple days!

🏃🏃‍♀️🏅

What is a Virtual 5K?
It is just like any other 5K, except there is no official race location. You get to choose where, with whom, and even how you want to complete the 5K. By participating virtually, you can run the 5K at any time leading up to March 26th. It can even be done in increments, just keep track of your distance until you hit the 5K.

By using and on your social media posts, we will be able to keep up with the fun!
