Join “The Million Mile” in Honor of Barrett Edwin Carver!

  • August 25, 2025

Each September, communities across the country come together for The Million Mile — a powerful fundraiser led by Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation to raise awareness and vital funding for childhood cancer research. This year, Barrett’s Blessings is once again joining the movement, and we invite you to walk, run, or ride with us in honor of Barrett Edwin Carver.


Why We Walk, Run, and Ride

Barrett was a bright, joyful little boy who courageously battled a brain tumor. His life, though far too short, continues to inspire love, strength, and action. Barrett’s Blessings was created in his memory to support children facing terminal illnesses, bring comfort to families, and raise funds for pediatric cancer research.

The Million Mile gives us a way to honor Barrett’s legacy while fueling the fight to end childhood cancer. Every step taken, every mile logged, and every dollar raised brings us closer to better treatments and brighter futures for kids and families facing the unimaginable.


How You Can Join the Movement

Participation is simple — and powerful. Whether you walk, run, or bike, every mile counts. Here’s how you can get involved:

  • 👟 Join Our Team – Log your miles throughout September as part of Barrett’s Blessings.

  • 💛 Donate to the Cause – Every contribution fuels research and supports families in need.

  • Dedicate Your Miles – Walk or run in honor of a child who inspires you.

  • 📣 Spread the Word – Share our team page with friends and family to multiply the impact.

Together, we can raise awareness, fund groundbreaking research, and provide hope where it’s needed most.


Let’s Make Every Mile Count

Last year, thanks to your incredible support, we made a difference. This year, we’re aiming even higher — more miles, more awareness, more funds raised to fight childhood cancer.
