Jacky’s X-Men
In 2016 my brother, Joe ran his first Tough Mudder to help bring awareness to Fragile X Syndrome. Jacky’s X-men was born because of my brothers determination to make a difference in the lives of those affected by Fragile X. Before this, the most I had run was a 5k. I never considered trying an obstacle race. BUT, in April of 2016, 16 of our closest friends and I ran the LA Tough Mudder for Jacky’s X-Men. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced. One might even call it a spiritual experience. No joke. The teamwork, the comradery, I was hooked. Since then Jacky’s X-Men have competed in half marathons, Full marathons, iron men, half a dozen tough mudders, on and on the list goes. To find out when our next run will be make sure you keep up with the Jacky’s X-Men link.
We all run for a reason. I run for Jack and to help spread awareness for Fragile X syndrome. I also run for myself. Because without running I know that I would not be the mom that I want to be for my kids. If you are in need of a little inspiration, join us. If you are already feeling inspired, join us!
