Event summary
Join the movement for heart health this February with the Janet Fund Live with Heart 5K Your Way, a virtual event running from February 6th to March 3rd, 2023! Taking place in Martinsville, Somerset, this exciting event invites participants to complete a 5K in their own way—whether by running, walking, spinning, or even taking your dog for a stroll. This unique opportunity supports The Janet Fund, an organization dedicated to protecting New Jersey youth from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in memory of Janet Zilinski, who tragically lost her life at a young age due to SCA.
By participating, you not only engage in a fun and healthy activity but also contribute to a vital cause that has already saved 25 lives and provided life-saving AEDs to schools and youth sports organizations across New Jersey. All proceeds will go directly to The Janet Fund, aiding their mission to raise awareness, provide free CPR training, and ensure that every school is equipped with the necessary tools to respond to cardiac emergencies. Let’s honor Janet’s legacy by promoting heart health and kindness in our communities this Heart Month!

Organiser's description
Run, walk, spin, walk the dog, go on the elliptical - complete a 5K your way anytime during the month of February (Heart Month) to support THE JANET FUND (JANET ZILINSKI MEMORIAL FUND) AND THEIR MISSION TO PROTECT NEW JERSEY YOUTH FROM SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST (SCA).
The Janet Zilinski Memorial Fund is a registered 501 (c) (3) organizations that was established in 2006 after the sudden death of eleven year old Janet Zilinski on August 10, 2006. Janet, a seemingly healthy child, collapsed while jogging at cheerleading practice. CPR was started immediately but an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) was not onsite. Janet lost her life that night to sudden cardiac arrest.
The Janet Fund is a leader in New Jersey in preventing sudden cardiac death in youth through the lobbying and passage of Janet's Law, (currently protecting 1.6 million NJ students) and saving 25 lives to date, the widespread placement and donation of AEDs to NJ schools/youth sports organizations/township playing fields, offering free CPR training and raising awareness of the warning signs of SCA in youth. Janet's Law requires every public and private K-12 school in NJ have a minimum of one AED, an emergency action plan for Sudden Cardiac Arrest, signs directing you to the location of the AED, trained responders and an AED at all school sponsored events. The Janet Fund is the first organization in NJ to place AEDs on playing fields.
All proceeds from this event go directly to The Janet Fund and support their mission to protect New Jersey youth from Sudden Cardiac Arrest through awareness campaigns, providing free CPR training and supporting our grant program donating Automated External Defibrillators to NJ schools, youth sports/activities and communities. Keeping with Janet's spirit, this will also support random acts of kindness.
