The 6th Annual Miles for Team Jack virtual miles challenge is officially in the books and it was an incredible event benefiting childhood brain cancer research! This year, participants from across the country logged a combined 20,867 miles in support of children fighting brain cancer. Together, runners and walkers, helped raise an outstanding $26,902 for childhood brain cancer research through the Team Jack Foundation.
Team Jack Executive Director, Kylie Dockter, said, “Our Team Jack September Challenge showed the power of movement and community. Through this virtual challenge, participants helped raise nearly $27,000 to support childhood brain cancer research. Thank you to everyone who participated, shared, and donated—you are making a difference in the fight against childhood brain cancer.
