Delana and Jacks Dromgoole.
Jacks Dromgoole travels around to run events to run in memory of his little brother who passed away six years ago. His mother Delana shared Jacks like to run because his little brother can't and he runs for him. Jacks said he picked running in the East Texas Poultry Festival because his family raises chickens in Garwood and he just had to come run in the Poultry Festival. Garwood, Texas is approximately 4 hours away from Center, Texas. Great job Jacks on your dedication to running in memory of your brother!
