Jingle in your Jammies, a fundraiser for the Arthritis Foundation, will be held at Lipscomb on Nov. 30. Arthritis is the nation’s leading cause of disability. In Tennessee alone, more than 1.2 million adults and nearly 6,000 children have a doctor-diagnosed form of arthritis.
Jingle in your Jammies is a one-mile run/walk hosted by Lipscomb after the Lipscomb vs. Tennessee Tech men’s basketball game. Participants of the run/walk receive free admission to the game and can enjoy a health screening hosted by the College of Pharmacy, milk and cookies with Santa, and a T-shirt. Free registration to the Dec. 1, 5K Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis ® in Franklin is also included. Participants are encouraged to wear their favorite winter pajamas during the basketball game and the one-mile run/walk. Immediately following the run/walk, “Elf” will be shown in Allen Arena to allow participants to sit back, relax and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere.
For some forms of arthritis, exercise can provide relief from pain, improve physical function and quality of life, and delay the onset of disability. The 5K Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis ® is a national event in which thousands of runners and walkers come together to fight arthritis.
To register for this event and take a stand against this disease, log on to www.lujingle.com and register as an individual or with a team.
