Why We Run

One Wish Can Change Everything.

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.

Why Brady Runs

From a Hospital Bed
to 1,553 Miles.

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."
