My Miles, Their Smiles: Walking for Children’s Comfort, Hope & Courage

Why I'm walking

This campaign is more than just miles to me—it is a journey of love, memory, and purpose. I am a champion, a mother, and an advocate for children battling cancer.My “why” is deeply personal. I walked this journey with my son, my beautiful angel, who bravely battled Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I witnessed his strength, his courage, and the quiet bravery children carry even in their hardest moments. I also witnessed the weight families carry—the pain, the fear, the long hospital days, and the deep need for comfort, dignity, and compassionate care. When my son got his wings, his journey transformed mine forever. Now every step I take is in honor of him and in honor of every child and family walking this difficult road. This is why Miles for Millions matters so much to me.I know what it means for a child to need comfort.I know what it means for a caregiver to need hope.I know how much palliative care can bring peace, dignity, love, and support in the moments that matter most.
