Jannie Cox, Founder, Meet Me at Maynards

Talk about one person making a difference!  Meet Jannie. Over nine years ago, she got an idea for a runners club that she saw in Colorado that promotes active lifestyles and social interactions. Game on. Only Jannie took things many steps further and the Tucson version had a bigger mission: To bring active adults AND families to downtown Tucson to enjoy healthy, social exercise, experience the beauty, history and architecture of Tucson’s unique neighborhoods and to appreciate and patronize local businesses.  Join me as Jannie shares with us how Meet Me at Maynards has become a valued, popular weekly Tucson event where hundreds of Tucsonans gather every Monday for almost a decade. From their DocWalk  to restaurant discounts to fun raffles, there is never a dull moment! As for Jannie? She is a walking, living, healthy and thriving example of one person making a difference.  I cannot wait to hear what she has to say and hear how things have literally blossomed. This show made possible due to the generous support of Tucson Medical Center.
