Hi, my name is Hayden Allen. I’m a former college baseball player with zero background in endurance sports and I’m preparing to take on one of the hardest endurance challenges in the world: The Ironman (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, 26.2-mile run). But I won’t just be racing. I’ll be carrying my Bible throughout the entire race as a symbol of faith and endurance.

This is the mission of the Carry Your Cross Foundation: Turning Miles Into Bibles.

Every donation you give will go directly toward purchasing and distributing Bibles to people who need God’s Word. Here’s the unique part:

• If I finish the Ironman on April 18, 2026, 100% of your donation will go to buying Bibles.

• If I don’t finish, you’ll be given the option to receive a full refund — or leave your gift in the mission to keep spreading the Word.

Our mantra is simple: Miles with Meaning. Faith with Action.

I invite you to join me on this journey. Together, we can turn every mile of this Ironman into Bibles that change lives.
