Strides for Survivors

Strides for Survivors

Strides for Survivors is an inaugural 5K run/walk held in Cary, North Carolina, at Wakemed Soccer Park (101 Soccer Park Drive). The event is organized by a high school student who previously participated in Camp Celebrate and seeks to combine running with support for burn survivor services.

All proceeds support the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center aftercare program. The aftercare team organizes annual events such as Camp Celebrate, Family Camp, Teenager Adventure Weekend, and an Adult Retreat. These programs serve hundreds of burn survivors and their families and aim to improve quality of life after injury.

The North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center provides specialized medical care and rehabilitative services for patients recovering from burn injuries. It also leads community education and burn prevention efforts, supports families with compassionate care, and pursues research and programs intended to help patients return to their highest level of functioning and promote safety across the state.
