Brayden was born sleeping at 24 weeks on November 17, 2011. He was diagnosed with hydrops fatalis. As a mom who suffered in silence for many years, I am now happy to say I get to celebrate with my family. Even though Jacob and our daughters never got to hold or be near Brayden, they know his story and love him the same. 

We're excited to come together to participate in 2026 Cedar Rapids Angels in the Outfield, a fundraiser supporting No Foot Too Small. Our collective passion for this cause drives us, and we need your support to make a difference! Every donation—big or small—helps us reach our fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. Every dollar counts!
• Spread the Word: Share our fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you so much for your support! We couldn’t do this without you!
