Running Nationwide For Cancer Awareness… While Juggling!
Team Catch It Early adds energy and awareness at the Komen Race for The Cure
Playing By Air and jugglers nationwide will turn attention, and heads, toward cancer awareness by juggling while running in Race for the Cure events throughout the Fall.
The jugglers will raise awareness and funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure programs in their local communities while joining together to create a nationwide movement by “joggling.”
Joggling is the growing sport of juggling while running, which has received publicity recently for several world records that have been broken in 2011. Playing By Air's Team Catch It Early program coordinates hobbyists, athletes, and professional jugglers to joggle in cancer awareness races throughout the year.

Celebrate Life with Laughter and Inspiration
"Laughter is the shortest distance between two people." ~Victor Borge
Playing By Air's performances bring families and communities together through shared laughter and inspiration. For some audience members, attending the show is their first chance to genuinely laugh and smile in many months. As performers on stage, we are honored to share and enjoy this experience along with our audiences.
"Their act was as entertaining as anything I've seen at a Minnie Pearl retreat (and that's saying quite a lot). Tremendously inspiring, impressive, and amusing." - Event Participant
"Absolutely fabulous show today at the Celebration of Life at Nashville General Hospital. Your performances brought the child in my heart out to play with you in the air. What a gift of laughter and joy you brought! It was a truly magical experience. Thank you so very much! - Susan Benting, 3rd Year Breast Cancer Survivor.
"I so enjoyed the jugglers! They were entertaining as well as presenting a message that we are never given anything that we can’t handle by God. Juggling life, cancer, loved ones is truly a struggle and I believe that everyone else enjoyed as well." - Event Participant
