Founded by Amber Reiter in memory of her daughter, Jazmine’s Journey is a nonprofit organization focused on raising awareness and funding for pediatric cancer research while honoring children and families affected by the disease. The group organizes community events and fundraising efforts aimed at supporting medical research and providing hope for families facing pediatric cancer.
Pediatric cancer remains one of the leading causes of disease-related death among children in the United States, according to federal health data. Research institutions across the country conduct clinical trials and laboratory studies aimed at improving treatment options and survival rates for young patients.
The hike will take place at the North Mountain Visitor Center, located at 12950 N. 7th St. in Phoenix. Organizers say community members of all ages are invited to participate.
Registration for the event is open to the public, with organizers encouraging residents to take part in the hike or attend to support the cause.
