2024 Walk for Wishes - Springdale, AR

Team Brayden

We're so excited to celebrate Brayden and help Wish it Forward for other kiddos!  2024 marks 15 years since Brayden's diagnosis and the Walk was a great celebration of his journey and always an emotional day looking back at all he's been through.  Brayden turns 24 this year (which is crazy as his Momma!) and will mark 12 years since he was granted his life-changing Make-A-Wish trip to see the ocean and swim with the dolphins.  After he endured a life-threatening Luekemia diagnosis, 3 1/2 years of chemo and radiation, this was a huge accomplishment and one that we talked about, dreamed about, and looked forward to on the darkest and hardest days of his treatment.  As a 9-yr-old kiddo, this was a scary time in his life and this Wish truly meant the world to him and our little family.  It was the biggest sigh of relief and a chance to get away and not worry about blood results, and spinal taps, and bone marrow biopsies for once.  Our family took a breath for the first time in a very long time.

Now, we are Wishing it Forward to help other kiddos and families.  This is the biggest fundraiser all year and we want to help others; will you join us?  We'd love to have you join us in person the day of the walk for Team Brayden as we help other families.  We'd love any donation you are able to give; every dollar helps!  We're doing a lot of work this year from schools and change donations to corporate sponsorships and want to ensure no child battling a life-threatening illness is told their wish can't be granted. 

Thank you to each of you in all you've done over the years to help our family and pray for Brayden!  We love that he has a heart for these kiddos and helping so many others with hope, encouragement, and allowing others to experience the Wish miracle he was able to experience!
