Why We Fight

An adventurer and critter-seeker. Paxton was vibrant and fearless. He could tell the most outrageous and silly stories. He had a sneeze that could be heard for miles that made everyone around him laugh. He wanted to grow up to be a baseball coach, a scientist and a “radiation doctor” (so he could help other kids not be scared). Our whole world changed when Pax was diagnosed on May 1, 2023 with DIPG, an inoperable brain tumor. Paxton inspired an entire community with his courage and strength and unwavering faith during his battle. Now we honor him in the best way we know how- living the way he would and raising funds to find the Homerun Cure™. 

"It is important to my family to start a chapter with the Cure Starts Now because we want to honor Paxton in a bigger way and make a bigger impact. We have such an amazing community that is so supportive and willing to help in any way to raise funds to find a cure so that’s what gave us the courage to start this chapter. We miss Paxton so much and will never stop trying to honor him." -  Bailey Barclay, Chapter Director
