(2)

A Kid Again is dedicated to providing hope, happiness and healing for families raising children who are living with a life-threatening condition. We make life for families caring for a child with a life-threatening condition “normal” again by helping them gain back moments of positive, family-shared experiences and memories. A chance to be a kid again; time away from the hospital; an opportunity t

o forget about being sick; a group experience to a local destination with tickets, food, parking, mementos, and memories to last until the next Adventure. A Kid Again is specifically designed to involve the entire family (not just the child who is ill) to improve the well-being of everyone affected by the situation. This approach helps protect and strengthen the children’s primary support network and personal resolve during the most difficult period of their lives. Our Impact!
91% of families report improved emotional well being
86% of families say they are closer and stronger
85% of kids had enhanced feelings of hope

More Memories Made!

On Monday, nearly 3,000 A Kid Again Michigan family members experienced our largest Adventure of the year at Michigan's Adventure! From the laughter and excitement to the unforgettable memories made together, it was a day filled with pure joy. Here is what a few of our families had to say…

“I can never put all the right words together when it comes to giving thanks to AKA for our trip to Michigan’s Adventure. Not only do we get a day to be “a kid again” but it also allows us to feel safer and more comfortable being around so many families alike.”

“Our life often does revolve around our child with disabilities, often limiting what we can do...so it's great that our kiddo can contribute in exclusive "fun" ways as well all because of A Kid Again!”

“Thank you, A Kid Again, for giving families like ours a chance to make memories, feel included, and experience days that remind us just how beautiful childhood can be. Our hearts are so full today.”

A huge thank you to Michigan's Adventure and Enchanted Parks USA for welcoming our families and creating such a special experience. ❤️

We're also incredibly grateful to Applied Innovation, Kearns Brothers, Inc. LMCU, and Delta Dental of Michigan for providing volunteers who helped check in families, welcome guests, and serve lunch throughout the day. Your support helps make these Adventures possible!

For many of our A Kid Again kids, childhood looks different.
 
Instead of playdates and family outings, their days are often filled with appointments, therapies, and treatments.
 
Your support helps change that. Through our year-round, cost-free outings called Adventures, children with life-threatening conditions and their families can focus on what matters most: being together, making memories, and experiencing the joy every child deserves.
 
Because childhood should be more than treatments.

There’s something special about summer at A Kid Again.

For many families caring for a child with a life-threatening condition, calendars are often filled with appointments, treatments, and uncertainty. Summer can feel less like a season of freedom and more like one more thing to navigate.

But your donation helps change that.

When you give to A Kid Again, you help create cost-free Adventures where families can step away from medical routines and simply be together.

Because every child deserves a summer filled with joy, excitement and time to just be a kid.

As we celebrate Matthew and his family, we’re filled with gratitude.

In the busyness of life, it’s easy to lose focus on the “why” behind A Kid Again. Stories like Matthew’s bring it back into view.

💚“Participating in A Kid Again gives us an enrichment that goes beyond what we could ever imagine,” Diane shared.

She also spoke about the power of connection:

🩵“We met another family with a child like our son… and have since exchanged numbers, stories and spent time together at the park.”

🧡This is what A Kid Again is all about.

To our volunteers, supporters, staff and partners…thank you. This doesn’t happen without you.

And to families like the Goodemotes, thank you for letting us be part of your story.

You do not need superpowers to be a hero.
You just have to show up.

At the Capes & Crowns Walk and Family Fun Fest, every step you take helps create moments of hope, happiness, and healing for families served by A Kid Again.

This is a day built for everyone…families, friends, neighbors, coworkers. Come walk, have fun, and be part of something bigger than yourself.
Because while the child may be enrolled, these moments reach siblings, caregivers, and the entire family.

Be a hero. Show up for families who deserve a day that feels carefree, connected, and completely theirs.

SAMPLE:
You do not always see what a family is carrying.
The appointments. The uncertainty. The way siblings learn to be patient far beyond their years.
That is why I support A Kid Again and the Capes & Crowns Walk and Family Fun Fest.
Because for one day, families can set all of that down.
Kids can laugh. Siblings can feel seen. Parents can breathe.
I am showing up to be a hero in a simple way, by helping create a day that feels normal, joyful, and completely theirs.
If that matters to you too, I hope you will join me.

What was your favorite memory at an Adventure?

For Matthew and his family, it’s the time spent together. 🧡

Each year, they look forward to visiting Michigan’s Adventure…something that wouldn’t be possible without A Kid Again.

“It’s an adventure we could not afford to do as a family otherwise,” Matthew’s mom, Diane, shared. “Matthew is very happy to ride small rides and splash around in the water.” 💚

She also shared something that stayed with us:

“More often than not, we have to do things differently because of Matthew. But because of A Kid Again, we can enjoy Adventures as a family… and now my kids say it’s because of Matthew.” 🩵

That shift, from limitation to gratitude, is what these Adventures are all about. We’re grateful to walk alongside families like the Goodemotes, creating space for joy and connection. Check back next Friday for more.
