This week, the Carson Leslie Foundation delivered Jordan Spieth Family Foundation-sponsored Under Armour backpacks to newly diagnosed teen cancer patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center and Texas Children's Hospital.

Teens fighting cancer often find themselves in an in-between place, too old for the toys and too young for adult comforts, and are sometimes overlooked. These backpacks are our way of saying: You’re seen, you’re strong, and you’re not alone.

Carson was just 14 when he was diagnosed and fought courageously for three years. His legacy continues to inspire our mission to encourage, uplift, and fill the void for this underserved group of young cancer fighters.

We’re deeply grateful to our friends at MD Anderson and Texas Children’s for welcoming us, and to the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation and Under Armour for helping us make a difference, one backpack, one teen, one smile at a time.

“My name is Carson Leslie, and I have been battling brain and spine cancer for the past three years. I love sports, babies, and Mexican food.”

Carson is the heartbeat of our organization, and why we do what we do: to help more kids fight cancer, each and every day of the year.

I was driving Paxton’s sister home from her art therapy appointment when she said, "You know Mom, Paxton is a legend."

"What do you mean he is a legend?" I asked.

"Well," she explained, "he was a hero."

He most certainly was my hero. Paxton had courage and strength that transcended ordinary people. He had a humorous and caring personality that endeared him to so many people. Through all the trials he endured he kept smiling; he kept making people laugh. He brought joy to other people.

"I take nothing for granted. And maybe that is what life is supposed to be about." Carson Leslie

Throughout his too-short life, Carson was determined to savor every moment and lift up those around him. In fact, he wrote his memoir, Carry Me, with the "next kid" in mind. No matter how sick he felt, he worked on this account of his own journey through treatment so that teens like him would know that they were never alone.

In this way, Carson has left an indelible mark on thousands of readers over the years. His words inspire us to keep going, to "run the race," as St. Paul says, and to help more kids fight cancer.

Today, we helped host the FIRST convening of the North Texas Childhood Cancer Coalition at !

The purpose of the event, organized by our friends at Heroes for Children, was to identify collaborative projects between dedicated nonprofits to impact the smallest and most innocent cancer patients among us.

And we're just getting started! The excitement in the room was palpable, and we're all looking forward to many more gatherings to come. Thank you to everyone who turned out!
