"Clayton Rakes" - Two Siblings’ Mission to Honor Their Dad and Fight ALS

I'm Dying to Tell You

What if two young siblings could inspire an entire community to rally against a devastating disease? Brady and Brooklyn Yozwiak from Hudson, Ohio, are doing just that with their initiative, Clayton Rakes. Their story begins with a deeply personal journey, motivated by their father Chris's battle with ALS. Sadly, Chris passed away in early 2024, but these incredible kids, aged just 11 and 8, have turned their grief into action by raising substantial funds for ALS research through their leaf-cleaning enterprise. Tune in to learn how their heartfelt mission is making waves, proving that age is no barrier to making a significant impact.
From neighborhood events featuring merchandise tables, food trucks, and entertainment, the Yozwiak siblings have mastered the art of community outreach, having raised nearly $330,000 so far. Join us as we hear Brady & Brooklyn talk about community support and how friends, family, and neighbors have rallied around their cause. Hear the powerful lessons they've learned about resilience, creativity, and leadership in the face of adversity. Their commitment to support ALS research is powerful, as they continue to build on their father's legacy and encourage others to join them in the fight against ALS. Thank you for sharing this precious chat with a friend and visiting their fundraising page directly supporting the ALS Therapy Development Institute. Hugs, Lorri
