Attention Registered Runners of the NJ RUN 4 HOPE Half Marathon (aka RT 9 Marathon)
Dear Runners,

Thank you for registering for the NJ RUN 4 HOPE Half Marathon! As we have stated in the past the postponement of the event was out of the charities control. We are currently working with local authorities to reschedule the event. We are excited about the event and appreciate your commitment to supporting terminally ill children and the fight against Duchenne.

If you have any questions regarding the race, the quickest and most efficient way to get answers is to email us directly at [email protected]. Our team is here to assist you and ensure you receive the correct information. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Please note that we sent out emails to all registered participants back in August to keep everyone up to speed on the changes. We emailed everyone to the emails that were on file. We kindly ask that you check your inbox and spam/junk folders for any important communications regarding the event.

Everyone who registered were given three options:
1. Request a refund in writing
2. Request the reg fees be used for a race at another date
3. Allow the reg fee to be used as a donation to the cause.

Your support means everything, and we look forward to seeing you at the starting line!

Thank you for being part of the fight for hope.
Warm regards,
James Raffone
Founder, JAR of Hope

It is unfortunate that individuals in our country are not receiving the necessary support.

The incumbent administration (Govenor Murphy) appears to be clueless in addressing this issue, as evident from their inadequate measures during COVID-19 and their inaction when presented with an opportunity to assist terminally ill and disabled children.

The administration's decision to revoke permission for JAR of Hope's fundraiser, following a request from a political acquaintance, raises questions about their priorities and ability to govern effectively.

Below are children who will be affected immediately by your rash decision. November, vote Spadea! Here's a man who fought for those those who couldn't fight for themselves.

*****Counting my Blessing******

Buffalo Wild Wings ๐Ÿ˜€

After busting my butt since 2021, visiting Senators, Congressman, Mayor's, Police Departments, sponsors, vendors, Nurses, requesting donations and recruiting over 100 volunteers, 100s of registered runners not to mentions permits to run on rt9 that was to be a historic run on rt9 known as The NJ RUN 4 HOPE, ON Oct 6th is experiancing a hiccup.

BWW WILL donate 25% of all proceeds raised that day by anyone who is part of JAR of Hope. They are located in the Marlboro shopping center on rt 9, on the South Bound side.

Buffalo Wild Wings, one of the dozens of sponsors, and they still want to help. They would like to make the best of an awful situation. Yes, this "postponement" is costing several charities 10s of thousands of dollars.

BWW was planning to be open early that morning because they were going to be a water station sponsor and they still want to open early for the Jets Game to support JAR of Hope donors.

It's wonderful to work with such a philanthropic company. BWW understands JAR of Hope's mission and wants to be part of the effort to find a cure. They recognize benefit to supporting terminally ill children more so then "pumpkin picking or apple picking" that day. So, if you plan on spending the day with the family I encourage you to patronize a company that has their priorities in order. I know I'll be there with dozens of families.

My patience is running thin...

As I sit here helping Jamesy get ready for school (at 15 he needs help) I cam across a post from a frustrated mom who you can tell is heart. Broken as she tried to make the best of her son needed to wear orthotics at age 5.

Duchenne is an aweful disease...

I started working on this race since 2021! I am so gratful for your support as I navigate unchartted waters. I am trying my best to make this run happen..after all we received all the permits and approvals!!!

I refused to ve dismissed!

Feel this mom's pain...
Moon boots battles. Our son who was recently diagnosed (he is 5) would not agree to sleep in them. When I try to put them on in his sleep he starts crying and fighting meโ€ฆ. They pressure and super uncomfortable and he even asked if they make them softer. How come we donโ€™t have something more comfortable on the market?? Any ideas/advice here?

Good morning NJ!

I hope everyone is well. I am proud to announce we are working diligently with local officials to secure an alternate date for the event.

I want to personally thank you for your patients. We hope to provide you with the best and unique racing experience NJ has to offer.

We will keep you posted.

******September 13, 2013*******

๐ŸŒŸ Today marks the 11th anniversary of Jamesyโ€™s diagnosis, a day that changed our lives forever. As I reflect on this journey, my heart is filled with gratitude for each and every one of you who has stood by us and supported JAR of Hope. Your unwavering encouragement, kindness, and dedication have made such a profound impact, and I will always be grateful.

Please take a moment to watch the video below. As you see Jamesy grow up, it strikes me how our message and mission remain the same: we need to "save the first child" from the grip of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Together, we can create a future where no parent has to hear that diagnosis.

Thank you for being a part of our fight. Your support fuels our hope and determination. ๐Ÿ’™โœจ
