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
Join us for the 4th Annual Transform Your Life & Health Luncheon, hosted by co-chairs Rochelle Bullock and Laura Wareing Wheless, on Wednesday, September 24, 2025 at River Oaks Country Club. We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Jim Ray, Executive Director for Neuroscience Research at MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Institute of Applied Cancer Sciences (IACS) and leader of the Belfer Neurodegeneration Consortium (BNDC), as our distinguished guest speaker.
JOYFUL JOURNEYS
Our 2nd Annual Joyful Journeys: A Wellness Conversation event was held on May 1 and featured Danielle and Bryan Mitchell of The Cognizant Group. They shared powerful insights on digging into root causes and supporting brain health through neuroplasticity. With strong community connections, amazing health partners, and an exciting raffle, the event was a great success.
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
Jane’s Joyride’s 2024 Transform Your Life & Health guest speaker, Dr. Jennifer McQuade of MD Anderson Cancer Center, was recently featured in The Wall Street Journal and interviewed on CBS Morning News for her work on groundbreaking cancer research. As a senior researcher on a melanoma study, her findings reveal that lifestyle choices like regular exercise and a high-fiber, plant-based diet can significantly improve cancer outcomes and boost treatment response.
