Nestled in the bustling city of Charlotte, North Carolina, the Run Jen Run 5K and Festival is more than just an event – it’s a symbol of unwavering hope and resilience. Through the Go Jen Go Foundation, founded by Joe and Jen Pagani, those affected by the financial struggles of breast cancer find a beacon of support.

The memory of Jen Pagani, an Ironman athlete and cherished Charlotte mother, remains alive through the foundation’s powerful mission. Despite her loss to breast cancer in 2014, Jen’s legacy lives on. The foundation provides crucial aid for patients to alleviate day-to-day financial worries and focus on their health and loved ones.
