PURSUE HEALING THROUGH WHOLE-SELF CARE
OUR MISSION
Jane’s Joyride is a grant-based charitable organization which supports education, funds research, and raises awareness in the pursuit of long-term healthy living.
4TH ANNUAL LUNCHEON
On September 24, Jane’s Joyride’s 4th annual Transform Your Life & Health Luncheon welcomed 150 guests to River Oaks Country Club for an inspiring presentation by Jim Ray, Ph.D., Executive Director of Neuroscience Research at MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Institute of Applied Cancer Sciences and leader of the Belfer Neurodegeneration Consortium.
GARDEN PROJECT
Jane’s family recognized the lack of access and resources for healthy food options in low-income areas of Houston. They partnered with Small Steps Nurturing Center to support the families they serve. Jane’s children along with family friends visited Small Steps families' homes to plant container gardens.
These families now have access to fresh vegetables right in their backyards! This opportunity created a sustainable food source, promoted nutrition, educated children on healthy food choices, and invested in the community.
RESEARCH FINDINGS
We remain deeply inspired by Dr. Jim Ray, Director of the Belfer Neurodegeneration Consortium (BNDC), whose presentation at our Transform Your Life & Health Luncheon offered a fascinating look into the future of brain health and wellness. Learn more about the BNDC’s pioneering work and their six key areas of research.
