The BOO! Brain Cancer Virtual 5K & 10K Walk/Run Challenge has always been more than a fundraiser to us. It is a celebration of Hailey and all the things she loved most. 🎃💛

Halloween was Hailey’s favorite holiday, and fall was her favorite season. She loved dressing up, visiting the pumpkin patch, and enjoying all the pumpkin-spice treats and cakes she could find.

During her final month with us, Hailey was busy planning her perfect Halloween costume: a white Elsa dress—of course. We had even found a Water Nokk costume for her wheelchair. Hailey had an incredible way of making the best of every circumstance. She never stopped finding reasons to celebrate, dress up, and make a little magic.

That is why we hold the virtual Boo! Brain Cancer Virtual Challenge every October. Now in its fourth year, this event invites you to choose a challenge and complete it anytime during October. You can walk or run a 5K or 10K—or create a challenge that is meaningful to you. Ride your bike, tackle a fitness goal, or get creative. Hailey’s baby sister, Hazel, even completed a closet clean-out as her challenge!

Send us your photos throughout the month, and we would love to share them on our social media pages. If you cannot participate, you can still support the challenge by making a donation.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from the Boo! Brain Cancer Challenge funds DIPG/DMG research—helping us honor Hailey’s life by creating hope for other children and families.

Whatever challenge you choose, we hope you will join us this October as we celebrate Hailey and all the children we have come to know through Princess Hailey's Hope Foundation, embrace a little Halloween magic, and tell brain cancer: BOO! 👻🎃💛

We are honored to announce that our local Hugs from Hailey program will be funded by a grant from the Community Foundation of Greater Huntsville’s Little Drummer Girl Fund! 💗

This grant will help us continue providing care packages to children battling pediatric cancer at the Huntsville St. Jude Affiliate Clinic. It will also fund an extension of Hugs from Hailey, allowing us to provide financial assistance to North Alabama families navigating a pediatric brain cancer diagnosis.

We invite you to watch our video submission to learn more about our mission and the children and families we serve.

We are deeply grateful for this investment in local children and families facing pediatric cancer. Each Hug is a reminder that they are loved, supported, and never alone.

If you would like to volunteer to help make cards and put our local Hugs boxes together, please send us a message!

Today, I packed Hugs from Hailey boxes for two little girls, Noelle and Chloe. They are 3 and 4 years old and both fighting DIPG/DMG.

I always read through each child's list of favorites before I start putting their box together because I want every hug to feel like it was chosen just for them. However, when I read Noelle and Chloe’s lists, my heart caught a little. Their favorites included Elsa and Frozen, Minnie, Moana, Rapunzel, and Bluey.

As I packed their boxes, I kept thinking about how easily Hailey would have fit right in with them. I can picture the three little girls in princess dresses, probably changing costumes multiple times, singing, watching Bluey, and leaving a trail of toys behind them. I have a feeling they would have been fast friends.

Noelle and Chloe are the ages Hailey was when DIPG became part of our lives. I know what those ages are supposed to look like: the princess dresses and high heels, the stuffed animals piled everywhere, the dance parties, the crafts, and the big personalities packed into tiny bodies.

But I also know what those ages can look like after a DIPG diagnosis. No 3- or 4-year-old should have to fight this hard. They shouldn’t have to be brave just because adults are asking them to lie still for another MRI or radiation treatment. They shouldn’t have to know hospital rooms and medicine schedules. Their parents shouldn’t have to make decisions about treatments and trials while desperately trying to preserve as much of their child’s childhood as they can.

When Hailey was fighting, the little things mattered so much. A new stuffed animal could make her whole day. A surprise package could give us something happy to focus on. A princess dress could turn a day filled with cancer into a day where, for a little while, she was simply Princess Hailey again.

Those moments didn’t fix anything, but they mattered. I think that is one of the reasons Hugs from Hailey means so much to us.

We can’t change Chloe and Noelle’s diagnoses; I wish more than anything that we could. But we can pack fun boxes full of things chosen especially for them. We can send a little excitement to their doorstep and help give their families a moment when the focus isn’t on DIPG.

So today, I packed princesses, toys, and surprises for two little girls who remind me so much of our little princess. With every item I tucked inside, I thought about her, how much she would have loved helping me, and how desperately I wish none of these boxes ever needed to exist.

Until that day comes, we’ll keep packing them—for Chloe, for Noelle, and for every little princess and superhero who deserves so much more than the treatments we have to offer them. And always, for Hailey. 💜
