Carry That Weight

Carry That Weight is Jack’s Caregiver Coalition’s annual rucking (or nature walk) fundraiser honoring caregivers and those learning to live after loss.

Caregiving’s weight is real. Rucking is walking with weight, and symbolizes the emotional and physical load caregivers carry every day while reminding them they don’t have to carry it alone.

Every step and every dollar raised helps Jack’s build community, connection, and support for caregivers and grieving men.
