Event Description
Join us for our 1st Annual Just for J 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run in HOUSTON!!!! We are a nonprofit organization originating in Fort Worth, TX and we are excited to expand into the Houston area this year! Just for J raises awareness and funds for children facing medical challenges. ALL proceeds from our Houston event will go towards purchasing a new transport isolette (specialized incubator for life-flight and ambulance) for Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center.
Our Houston event is close to our hearts. In 2017, Just for J had the opportunity to help Gage and Sadie, twin preemies born at Memorial Hermann. Every baby is a miracle, but these two defeated all odds and fought so hard to survive during their 151 day stay at the hospital. Their mom is on a mission to GIVE BACK and is now the Just for J Houston 5K Coordinator helping more families in need!!! Read more of their story here! https://www.justforj.com/sadie-and-gage
