    Join us the morning of February 28 for the 4th Annual Joey Run 5K, 10K, and 1 Mile Fun Run at Harlinsdale Farm in Franklin, Tennessee, held in honor of Jenny Fann’s brother, Joey Gootee.

    What started as one family’s heartbreak has become a community wide day of hope. After hearing story after story of how addiction has impacted families right here in Middle Tennessee, Jenny knew she could not stay quiet. The Joey Run exists to shine a light on the reality of addiction, to remind people they are not alone, and to help create a path forward. A path with support, prayer, and people willing to walk beside you.

    Whether you are running for a loved one, walking for your own story, or showing up because you believe recovery is worth fighting for, you belong here. This is more than a race. It is a gathering of neighbors choosing compassion and action.

    Your participation helps fund scholarship support that goes directly to accredited recovery centers, so individuals who are ready for treatment are not turned away simply because they cannot afford it. The Joey Run is a ministry department of ACT International (ACTInternational.org), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

    Mark your calendar, invite your family, friends, and coworkers, and come be part of something that matters. Sign up today. We cannot wait to see you at the start line.
