After much thought, we have decided to pause the Happy Jack 5K Run & 1-Mile Walk in 2026.
Last summer, while preparing for a long-awaited family trip, Heather's father suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and underwent emergency triple bypass surgery. The experience served as a powerful reminder of the importance of time, family, and being present for life's unexpected moments.
While the race is taking a pause this year, our commitment to advancing neuroendocrine cancer research through the Happy Jack Innovation Fund remains as strong as ever.
Thank you for your continued support, friendship, and belief in this mission.
With gratitude,
The Landskroner Family
