Cole Eicher’s story of courage and hope will move you.

When Cole and his family found out that he’d been diagnosed with pediatric brain cancer, it rocked their world. But it was the beginning of Cole’s fight against cancer and even after beating it, he’s gone on to make it his mission to help other children. He created the Gold Together movement. His vision started with one team in St. Petersburg and it’s grown rapidly. Gold Together is a national Relay For Life program helping raise funds to fight childhood cancer. Pediatric cancer is the leading disease-related cause of death for children and adolescents ages 1 to 19.

Since the inception of Gold Together, Cole has raised over $1 million for kids fighting cancer. Cole partners with American Cancer Society, coming together at Relay For Life events.
