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.
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.
5K CHAT & STROLL
On February 1, more than 60 guests and their four-legged friends gathered for the 2nd Annual 5K Chat & Stroll, a morning filled with connection, remembrance, and celebration. The event featured the heartfelt dedication of Jane’s memorial bench, followed by a meaningful walk honoring her legacy and the incredible strides Jane’s Joyride has made over the past year.
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 proudly funded Dr. Anil Sood’s groundbreaking Plant-Derived Vesicles (PDVs) Research Study at MD Anderson Cancer Center. This study explored PDVs as an innovative therapeutic approach for ovarian cancer, demonstrating their ability to deliver high concentrations of anti-inflammatory substances directly into tumors.
