A Kentucky native, Jan is the mother of 23-year-old twins and a professional journalist. She has formed sports programs for children with disabilities for more than a decade. The Kentucky Children’s Health and Fitness Fund represents the synthesis of Jan’s natural instinct for healthy parenting and her vocation as a communicator. To form the nonprofit organization, she gathered friends and colleagues, dedicated separately to healthy living efforts worldwide, and convinced them to focus on the emergency health crisis facing Kentucky families.
