Walk, Run, Bike in our 2026 Kendall's Challenge
Join participants across the country and around the world for our 42-day walking, running, and biking challenge in support of brain cancer patients and their families. Anyone anywhere can participate! We'll be connected via an app June 1 - July 12. We'll log our individual and collective miles while swapping photos encouragement with fellow participants.
Will you be traveling during Kendall's Challenge? That's perfect! You can help add a destination or two to our Love Goes Further map. To date, we've had participants in 36 US states and 6 additional countries. Can you help us achieve our 50 state goal?
Kendall's Challenge is a great way to get in shape, stay in shape, or train. If you're part of an athletic program, walking, running, or cycling club, we'd love to connect with you! Whether you're prepping for a marathon or are looking for a little inspiration to advance a personal goal, we hope you'll join us - and add a little purpose to your plan!
Coaches, this is a great way for your athletes to stay in shape in the off-season.
Every mile makes a difference!

We're in early talks to host a comedy night in 2026 and you're going to love it! After all, laughter really is the best medicine - for all of us.
Thank you, Spunky dunkers!
In the sweetest competition ever, members of the Palatine Community competed to see which side of town purchased the most red or green donuts reflecting Palatine or Fremd's school colors at Palatine's legendary, Spunky Dunkers.
Congratulations to Fremd High School who took the prize and thank you to Spunky Dunkers who generously donated over $4,500, the entire proceeds from these sales to the Kendall Nicole Eich Foundation!

Congratulations to George Wagner, the Palatine H.S. recipient of our 2025 Love Goes Further Scholarship.
In George's own words, "A person's true character is never revealed in moments of triumph or success; instead it is revealed through how we respond to adversity...I came to understand that adversity does not weaken love, it strengthens it when practiced through sacrifice and responsibility.
George (in gray) is surrounded by members of his family who George acknowledged in his beautiful essay.
Your future is bright, George. We can't wait to see the great things you'll achieve!

Congratulations to Sumedha Rao, the William Fremd H.S. recipient of our 2025 Love Goes Further Scholarship.
Sumedha wrote a beautiful essay sharing wisdom she received from her grandfather, "What you learn should never remain only yours."
Sumedha wrote, "Ioften think about that sentence my grandfather said so casually...At the time, it sounded like advice. Now, it feels like a responsibility I carry with me into every decision I make...No matter how far I go, his love goes further."
Sumedha, you are already achieving great things! We can't wait to see what your future holds!

Cindy and Marty on Good Day Chicago
In preparation for our One Community One Cause, Brain Cancer Awareness Night, Cindy and Marty were invited to appear on Good Day Chicago. Cindy would have loved to talk about our wonderful beneficiary families and the many ways our donors allow us to pour love into their lives, but what a great experience and Anthony Ponce couldn't have been nicer! https://www.fox32chicago.com/video/1756526
