Our Story

Hello!

We are Bethany & Kevin, Hallie’s Mom and Dad. We founded The HallieStrong Foundation in 2018 in memory of our daughter Hallie.

We first found out we were pregnant in July of 2016 shortly after returning from our best friend’s wedding. We were so excited about all that was to come with our sweet little girl. Our hopes and dreams were crushed, out of nowhere, on October 17th, 2016 when I was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of cervical cancer. We lost Hallie at 19 weeks, shattering our world even more. Her life was short and her footprints were so tiny but she changed our lives forever and it’s now our life’s mission to spread her legacy of hope throughout the cancer community.

In my fight against small cell cervical cancer, I endured major surgery, five rounds of chemo, and 28 rounds of radiation simultaneously. Despite the odds, and by God’s grace alone, I was declared cancer free in March of 2017 and have been cancer free since. We don’t take a day for granted and we are grateful for every rusty lining, our take on silver linings, that has come from that horrific turn our lives took.

HallieStrong has already become something so much bigger than we could’ve ever imagined and we can only hope to continue that trend for years to come. We would give anything to have Hallie here with us but since we can’t, we will continue to make sure the world will forever know her name and her legacy of hope.

We are so thankful for all of the amazing support we continue to receive! If you’d like to get involved in some way, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Forever #halliestrong,

Bethany & Kevin
