Living Undefeated community

Become a Living Undefeated Ambassador

After losing our nephew Austin to childhood cancer, we searched for a way to carry his memory forward. In that heartbreak we found new meaning, renewed purpose, and a profound joy for life.

Our mission is to help other families and friends find their own path toward meaning and purpose after a loss. By being of service to others and giving back, we invite you to find hope, strength and connection within our Living Undefeated community.

From deep loss to an undefeated legacy

Many of our Ambassadors find that by reaching out to help others — even while navigating their own grief — they discover a gentle path toward healing, and a way to rewrite their own story.

For families and friends navigating the heavy fog of loss, this is not just a volunteer role. It is a way to honor those we have lost by standing up for the families who are still in treatment.

We are looking for compassionate leaders, community builders and healing hearts to carry the torch, spark conversations, and bring people together.

How the kit works

1
Claim a spacePut your Living Undefeated stickers where people will see them — a laptop, a water bottle, a storefront window. They quietly signal that you refuse to let tragedy have the final word, and getting outside to place them is itself a healthy way to reconnect with your surroundings.
2
Wear your charmWhen somebody notices it and asks, you have an opening — no practiced speech needed, just your own story. “I wear this to honor my journey through loss and to turn pain into purpose.”
3
Leave charms to be foundTurn an ordinary afternoon walk into an unexpected moment for a stranger. Leave a charm somewhere it will be discovered. You are not just leaving a charm; you are planting a seed of resilience.
4
Help yourself by helping othersYour contribution funds our charitable programs and comes back to you as tools to give away, so one gift keeps multiplying through your community.

Choose your level

Select the tier that matches your own sphere of influence. Your Ambassador contribution funds our charitable programs, and we send you a kit — the charms, stickers and guides you will use to give away and spread the word on the Fund’s behalf.

Kits are in production now and ship in January 2027. Your contribution is a donation, not a purchase, and does not depend on the kit.

The ripple effect

1

2
They find a story, not just a keepsakeThe QR code on the card takes the finder to our mission, where they can learn more, share what happened, or become an Ambassador themselves.
3
Share the goodThe finder posts their discovery with #LivingUnDefeated, and one hidden charm becomes a wave of new people who find their way to the families who need us.

Why this works

For you

It turns grief into giving

Creating an anonymous moment of happiness for somebody else is a quietly therapeutic way to find new meaning.

For your people

It brings people together

Your family and friends can join in, turning a weekend afternoon into a tradition.

For the families

It multiplies our reach

Every shared post guides somebody new back to the families who need us most.

You may never meet the families whose burdens you lift — but their lives will be brighter because you chose to stand with them.
