Author: Cheryl Scruggs June 12, 2024 Duration: 40:25

Jessica and her husband Greg are herald as adoption advocates across New York State. After adopting a sibling group of two from foster care in 2015, they discovered the massive need for foster and adoptive parents.

They founded All 4 One Adoption Awareness, an organization focused on highlighting the 110,000 children in foster care who are freed to be adopted and need a forever family. For three years straight, Jessica has promoted and organized a 110 mile run across St. Lawrence County which is held on National Adoption Day to raise awareness for this need.

Jessica was a contestant on Season 8 of NBC's American Ninja Warrior where she shared her story and passion for adoption. She was featured in Runner's World Magazine in 2018 for attempting to run 110 miles through a snowstorm on National Adoption Day. Jessica has the privilege of presenting a TEDx Talk in November 2020 entitled, "How to Win at the Race Called Life".

When Jessica is not running marathons or after her children, she also loves reading, Tim Hortons,  and kayaking with her family.
