Rolling out to Dallas âToo Hot to Trotâ 5K

Turns out Lee Jordanâs early-May prediction that he and his daughter, Jasmine âJazzyâ Jordan, would be making their Times Square, New York City, finish point of Jazzyâs run across the U.S. to benefit the St. Christopher Fund by a week from today was on-the-spot correct.
