A once-in-history family endurance mission to raise $1M and grant 100 wishes for critically ill children through Make-A-Wish®. No human being has ever done this.
$339,268 raised so far. 33 wishes already funded. Now Brady is going after the rest with a feat no human has ever attempted.
Starting July 25, 2026 at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL, Brady McDonald will run a 50K every single day for 50 consecutive days across all 50 states, finishing September 12 in Honolulu, Hawaii. 1,553 total miles. No rest days.
A wish is more than a moment, it's medicine. Research shows that granting a wish can give a child the strength to face a critical illness, renewing hope for the whole family. It transforms how kids experience their toughest days, and it brings entire communities together behind one child's dream.
Help Grant the Next WishA family of five is leaving home for 50 days to help grant 100 wishes across America. We'd love for you to be part of the journey.

Three years ago, Brady was not a runner. He quit drinking, entered a 50-mile race, won it, and landed in the hospital with rhabdomyolysis days later.
He kept going. A 100-miler. The Moab 240. The Arizona Monster 300. More than $300,000 raised for Make-A-Wish.
Somewhere in those miles, the mission became clear: the legs he built were not meant to be about personal records. They could help children living through their hardest days.
"This isn't a personal record I'm chasing. It's 100 kids whose lives can change because we showed up."
