BUILDING THE HEART & BLOOD ONE STEP AT A TIMEROCK THE WALK 5K
ROCK THE WALK 5K
Rock the Walk is an annual community initiative presented by Rock Nation Movement dedicated to raising awareness of heart disease and diabetes, promoting healthier lifestyles, supporting families impacted by cardiovascular disease, and investing in life-saving research. In partnership with the American Heart Association, the event brings together families, healthcare advocates, local organizations, and community leaders with one shared purpose: building healthier communities—one heartbeat, one family, and one step at a time.
January 2025, DeJaughn and his wife, Pheobe wrote down their goals for the year. Among them was his desire to host a walk in honor of his late twin brother.
Ironically—and perhaps prophetically—the “V” in the name looked like a “J,” as if DeJaughn’s own name was already woven into this vision. Wild, right?
Now, with a heart full of love and conviction, Pheobe is carrying forward what he started—through his music, his merchandise, and the movement he poured his soul into.
Rock the Walk 5K is more than a tribute; it’s a promise to keep his light shining and to bring communities together in his honor.
