Make your miles matter more this summer

This summer, every mile you complete and every dollar you raise or donate supports brave kids coping with serious illness by providing the beads they need to honor their courage. Whether you walk, run, hike, bike, swim, or mix it all together, your movement becomes meaningful when you join the 2026 Team Beads of Courage Summer Challenge.

From June 21 through September 22, we’re challenging supporters everywhere to complete 100 miles and raise or donate $100, together we can raise the vital funds needed to help brave kids get the beads they need to tell their story.

Invite friends, family, and coworkers to help you reach your Summer Challenge fundraising goal by making a tax-deductible donation.

Those who complete the challenge of 100 miles and raise or donate a minimum of $100, will qualify to receive a Summer Challenge finisher medal & shirt with our gratitude!

Move with purpose. Fundraise with heart. Make this summer count for brave kids coping with serious illness.

Learn more about the Summer Challenge on our website.

Good luck, and let’s do this together.
