We have SO much to share about this year's Breath of Life 5K, but first: THANK YOU.

You showed up. You supported families. You helped create a day filled with so much love and connection.

We'll be sharing photos, stories, and event numbers soon, but today we're simply feeling grateful. Thank you for making this day possible. ❤️

We love Camp Trach Me Away!

For many of our campers, Camp Trach Me Away is the first place they've met another child like themselves. It's where friendships are formed, confidence grows, and kids get to simply be kids.

A one-time or monthly donation helps fund camp, medical support, activities, and unforgettable experiences. Donate today and help sponsor a child for camp.

This weekend, our 1 Mile Walk became something even more meaningful.

After the recent loss of one of our leader’s trach children, we renamed the walk the Trach Angels Memorial Mile - in honor of every trach child who has been lost, but will never be forgotten. 💜

The loss of Jenna has taught us so much about grief, support, and what it truly means to continue showing up for families after the unimaginable happens. The trach journey does not end when the meals stop coming or the service is over. These families still need community, remembrance, and people willing to speak their child’s name.

Before the memorial mile began, our founder, Laura Scott shared a heartfelt message about love, loss, and the importance of carrying these children with us always.

This mile was for every trach angel.
For the families carrying grief beside gratitude.
For the children who changed us forever.

While Jenna’s passing inspired the renaming of this walk, the Trach Angels Memorial Mile will forever honor all of the children our community holds close in our hearts. 💜

Happy Tracheostomy Awareness Week!

Joshua has overcome so many of his own milestones that I have about lost count. He has gone through countless surgeries and dealt with so much pain over the years. But Joshua is still loving life to the fullest and determined to prove some doctors wrong. His biggest milestone has been the doctor, at birth, saying Joshua will not live past a year old. I'd like to announce to you that Joshua is a vibrant young man of 20 year old!!
