Join us for the first annual Heart & Sole 5K, a heartfelt event in memory of Rowan Jo, a beautiful soul we lost in January 2025 to a congenital heart defect. This race is a celebration of Rowan’s life, the joy she brought to those around her, and the light she continues to shine in our hearts.
All proceeds from the Heart & Sole 5K will benefit Dell Children’s Medical Center, supporting congenital heart defect (CHD) research and assisting families navigating similar journeys. Dell Children’s holds a special place in our hearts, as they were set to perform Rowan’s transplant. Our hope is that the funds raised through this event will contribute to vital research and innovations in the treatment of congenital heart defects. By supporting organizations like Dell Children’s Medical Center, we aim to help advance early detection, improve surgical outcomes, and give other children and families facing CHD the gift of more time, more answers, and more hope for the future.
This isn’t just a race — it’s a chance for our community to come together, share memories, and support a cause close to home. Whether you run, walk, or simply come out to show love and support, everyone is welcome.
We’ll have:
Food Trucks ☕️🌭🥪
Music 🎶
Fun activities for all ages 🎨🛝
A strong sense of community and purpose 🫶🏼
Let’s honor our sweet, strong Ro — and make a difference, one step at a time. 💕
