Run with the j.k. livin Foundation

October 30, 2011

Rock n’ Roll Los Angeles 1/2 Marathon, Mini Marathon, & 1 Mile Run

The just keep livin Foundation was started by Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves to help teenage kids lead active lives and make healthy choices so they can become great men and women.

The j.k. livin foundation was designed to work with our nation’s schools to reach the maximum number of children with the greatest needs. We have partnered with other organizations like Communities in Schools, the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation, the Brees Dream Foundation, and THINKTogether to implement fitness and wellness programs in large inner-city high schools in our community. In our after school program, we encourage students to improve their physical and mental health through exercise, teamwork, gratitude, and positive life choices. In these programs our kids gain confidence, a better attitude, self-reliance, and hope for a great future. The work our partners provide enables the j.k. livin afterschool programs to help these kids get a healthy start today, so they can make a better tomorrow.

We are asking each j.k. livin team runner to raise of minimum of $500. This will sponsor a child for one year in our program. You will also be helping us reach our goal of $40,000 to sponsor our program at an inner-city high school for an entire year! Students from our programs in Los Angeles and Austin will be running with our team.

Each team member will receive:

Weekly training schedules, training tips, and nutrition tips
Group training runs led by Missy Shepherd - dates TBD
Custom just keep livin race singlet
just keep livin foundation wristband
