Help Hyleas, an Olympic Hero, Battle Cancer

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

We are raising funds for Hyleas Fountain-Vaught and her family as she fights breast cancer.

Hyleas is known to many as an Olympic silver medalist and lifelong competitor, but those who know her personally know something even deeper. She is a woman of God, a devoted wife, a loving mother of two young children, and someone who has consistently poured into others.

For years, Hyleas and her husband, Tim, have run a children’s track club and kept the cost to families nominal, even when it did not come close to covering the real expenses. They did it because they believe in serving kids and giving back to the community.

In that same spirit, their business, Speed Trap Academy, has worked with kids in ALL sports, helping them improve speed and agility, confidence, and discipline. Hyleas and her family have always been about building up others. Now it’s time for the community to step up and return the favor.

Why we’re asking for help:
While insurance helps, it does not cover everything. Out-of-pocket costs are mounting, including:
  • Deductibles and co-insurance
  • Treatment-related prescriptions and copays
  • Travel, parking, and appointment expenses
  • Household bills while treatment and recovery impact normal routines
  • Extra family support needs that come with two young children

How you can help:
  • Donate if you are able
  • Share this fundraiser with your friends and family
  • Leave a message of encouragement for Hyleas and her family
  • Prayers for healing, strength, peace, and comfort for their entire family

Thank you for standing with Hyleas, Tim, and their children during this fight. Your generosity, shares, and prayers mean more than you know.
