Jandy Strong

#JANDYSTRONG is a story of strength, perseverance and hope. For those of you that do not know Jake Anderson, please enlighten yourself with this podcast to gain some perspective on life and inspiration for the future. In this episode you will learn about Jake's story, his road to recovery and upcoming events. In particular, September 29, 2019 will be the fifth and final year at the Chicago half marathon event, and we encourage YOU to come out and support. For those of you who are new to the JandyStrong movement, we are doing this fundraiser to raise money for paralysis research and recovery, and to support friend Jake Anderson, as he continues to embark on his long journey of extensive medical care and physical therapy. Last year at the Chicago 1/2 marathon, Jake used a customized tandem trike – engineered by himself and three other UW-Madison students – to complete the 13.1 mile race along Lake Michigan. It was another significant milestone in Jake’s recovery and an inspiration to us all. Jake plans to participate again this year, with sights set on beating last year’s finishing time of 1:57:47. If you enjoy this podcast and want to support Jake, please consider donating to the GoFundMe link found here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/jandystrong-5th-annual-halfmarathon-fundraiser
