Shout Out Of The Week
Barbara Galloway, Elyssa Plaza, & Jeff Galloway (2017)
Shout out to Barbera Galloway. You have always been by Jeff’s side and we know that took sacrifices at times. Thanks for sharing your love of Jeff and running with the world. - Love Coach Tadris.
Second Shout Out:
Stockton University held a Winter Wellness Fair on Thursday, February 26th, 2026. The day after Jeff Galloway passed away. I was already fired up to talk about the run, walk, run method, but now I was emotional about it—one person who made her way to the table was Estrella (Star) Figueroa. Star came out twice last week and took part in our program. Shout out to her for coming out, sharing how inspired she was by the movement, and enjoying her experience. Last but not least, shout out to:
Donald Campbell of Atlantic Center of Independent Living
Thanks to ACIL, we open up our run group to walkers living with disabilities!
We love being able to inspire them, and they inspire us in return.
Group walks are on Tuesday’s at Stockton University in Galloway @ 5:30 pm &
Thursday’s at Heritage Park in Absecon @ 5:30 pm
