Organiser's Description
UPDATE THIS YEAR'S RACE WILL BE A VIRTUAL ONLY OPTION. THERE WILL BE NO IN-PERSON RACE ON MAY 3, 2025.
WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO STILL RUN A 5K, ON YOUR OWN, AS A VIRTUAL/GHOST RUNNER. WHEN YOU COMPLETE YOUR 5K RUN, SEND YOUR TIME, A PICTURE, AND YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA HANDLE TO [email protected] AND WE WILL SHOWCASE YOU ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES. COMPLETE YOUR RUN BETWEEN APRIL 1 AND MAY 4, 2025.
The Jerome Alston Memorial Foundation was founded in December 2013 by a daughter who wanted to keep her father's legacy alive. Her father, Jerome Alston, passed suddenly on December 18, 2012, due to asthma related complications.
After Jerome's passing, his daughter learned that most people knew at least one person with asthma. However, the number of people who knew someone that had died from asthma or better yet knew that someone _could_ die from asthma was slim to none. The Jerome Alston Memorial Foundation's goal is to raise asthma awareness and educate the community on asthma triggers in an effort to reduce deaths by asthma complications.
Each year we encounter more and more people brave enough to share their story of losing a loved one due to asthma complications.
May is Asthma Awareness month and the Jerome Alston Memorial Foundation hosts an annual 5K to raise awareness for asthma and promote health and wellness for youth and adults though movement and exercise.
This event allows us to support individuals suffering with asthma and organizations that treat asthma patients. Additionally, we have been able to provide health screenings to the community and donate funds to the American Lung Association, the Virginia Asthma Coalition, and the Western Tidewater Free Clinic. We have also been able to provide asthma education sessions to students at Cradock Middle School in Portsmouth, VA in addition to scholarships.
