SPRINT FOR LIFE
Jane’s Joyride is honored to have supported the 26th annual Sprint for Life 5k held on May 6 benefiting MD Anderson Cancer Center. We appreciate everyone coming together to raise awareness and funds for continued ovarian cancer research.
The Blanton-Davis Ovarian Cancer Research Program is contributing ground breaking research. Thanks to everyone for making it a successful event.
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.
