Help me make my miles matter more this summer for brave kids

$110 towards $100

Together, let's make this summer count for brave kids coping with serious illness.

This summer, I’m taking on the 2026 Beads of Courage Summer Challenge — 100 miles completed and $100 raised to support children coping with cancer and other serious illness. Every mile I move and every dollar you give helps provide Beads of Courage, meaningful tangible symbols of hope and comfort that help kids visualize, share, and own their stories of courage.

Axton’s place of treatment, University Hospital in San Antonio Texas, is a member of this amazing non-profit organization. After every part of his treatment, whether it be a hospital admission, cardiology appointment or heart procedure, Axton is presented with Beads of Courage that represent all he goes through. For example, yellow beads represent an overnight stay in the hospital, glow in the dark beads represent echocardiograms, black beads represent pokes (IVs, shots), red beads represent blood transfusions, pink beads represent respiratory support, heart procedures have their own sets of beads — the list goes on! You string them all together by day, creating a visual journal of Axton’s Heart Journey.

Your support truly makes a difference. Even a small donation goes a long way in helping me reach my goal and ensuring brave kids receive the beads they need to honor their strength and resilience.

Let’s make an impact together this summer for brave kids!

Thank you <3
