Mile A Day For Jay 5K

A Mile A Day For Jay 5K is an event that was created to honor a truly amazing, exceptional and one of a kind person--Jason Clemente. He was diagnosed in 2016 with pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer and in 2019 was also diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia. For 7 1/2 years, Jay battled cancer like a warrior and responded with an awe-inspiring determination to fight cancer and live his life to the fullest. No one loved life more than Jay. He didn't just live it, he left his mark on it. He filled it with joy, laughter and incredible moments. Jay left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him, and now, by coming together in his honor, we carry forward that legacy. Through our strides, his impact will continue-spreading cancer awareness and fueling hope.

Donations will be going to Jay Clemente #223 Foundation

 

During his cancer battle, many friends and organizations came together to support his family. His family wanted to reciprocate the generosity and created the Detective Jay Clemente #223 Foundation to support other families who may be going through a difficult journey. The foundation was created in his memory allowing his spirit to guide us and continue to pay it forward. We walk/run in his honor and all those who are battling cancer.
This year, all of the proceeds from the A Mile A Day For Jay 5K will go to the Jay Clemente #223 Foundation to support the Tilves Family offset medical expenses. Jackson Tilves is currently battling a rhabdomyosarcoma brain tumor. He was first diagnosed and treated at the age of 18 with no evidence of disease for the past 7 years. Recently, the cancer has returned. He is currently undergoing treatment and medical expenses have been mounting. Please join us at the A Mile A Day For Jay 5K to honor all those who battle cancer and please consider donating as we help support Jackson with his battle with cancer.
