An update from Fleet Feet on Jenny Simpson:
Tuesday night, Fleet Feet's Chief Running Officer, Jenny Simpson, experienced a medical emergency while participating in the Sir Walter Running Pop Up Mile event in Raleigh, N.C.
She received immediate medical attention and was transported to a nearby hospital. Fleet Feet CEO Joey Pointer was also at the event, and stayed with Jenny at the hospital throughout the night as her family traveled to be with her early Wednesday morning.
While Jenny remains under medical care, she has shown encouraging improvement and continues to exhibit the strength and resilience that have long defined her. True to form, she has already asked about her mile time and whether she won.
The outpouring of support from across the running community has been extraordinary. We appreciate the compassion, encouragement and concern shown for Jenny and her family, and we are grateful to be part of a community that continues to rally around them.
