The NCANA Run for Joy 5K

Join us for the annual NCANA Run for Joy 5K race—an event fueled by heart and stride aiming to shatter the stigma surrounding mental health among healthcare trainees. Every step taken is a leap towards promoting mental wellness and honoring the vibrant spirit of Katelyn Joy Beardsley, a passionate soul whose dream of becoming a CRNA was cut tragically short. Uniting runners and supporters, we rally together in Katelyn's memory, celebrating her life and her devotion to helping others battle depression. With your participation and generosity, proceeds will boost vital initiatives, offering a beacon of hope and much-needed support to those grappling with mental health challenges in this demanding field. Lace-up for purpose, wellness, and remembrance—because every journey to joy is a race worth running.
