Run with joy, with our Lead Therapist Jamie!

Run with Joy is an opportunity to use the gift of running and movement to run for those impacted by complex childhood trauma by supporting the Child Advocacy Center, Inc. The CAC is a nonprofit 501c3 that provides free therapy services to children and family impacted by trauma caused by abuse; such as sexual abuse, physical abuse, human trafficking, neglect, trauma in utero, mental injury, and exposure to violence. Many victims of complex trauma experience a combination of these.

Run with Joy also utilizes running as platform to provide

psycho-education on how childhood trauma impacts the brain, development, and seeks to get others to view trauma symptoms through the lense of neuroscience and not behavior.

Run with Joy runs for the most vulnerable and operates under the belief that though we may go through hard things in life it doesn’t have to stop us or define us. Running can sometimes be tough, but childhood trauma is even tougher, so we run for those who cannot.

With gratitude and joy!
