Join Charlie McDaniel as he embarks on a Journey for a Purpose
One of life’s greatest joys is found in doing for others. I’ve been blessed in more ways than I can count—through friendships, grace, generosity, and opportunity. Now, I feel called to honor those gifts by paying them forward.
This mission has taken on even greater meaning since the passing of my good friend John Campbell, whose courage and Always Love Strong motto inspired this journey. Just weeks before he left us, John and I shared time together—moments I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. His strength and compassion remain the heartbeat of this campaign.
Many of us have witnessed the heartbreak of a terminal illness like ALS. The emotional toll is overwhelming—and the financial burden can be equally devastating.
That’s why I’m supporting Families and Communities Together Relief (FACT Relief), a grassroots nonprofit that empowers families facing catastrophic illness or injury. FACT Relief provides financial support, practical resources, and compassionate community to help families navigate the unthinkable with dignity and strength.
I recently launched Journey for a Purpose—a 100-day campaign to raise awareness and financial support for Always Love Strong. The journey will culminate on October 4, 2025, when I will compete in the Las Vegas Long Course AquaBike at Lake Mead National Recreation Area: a 1.2-mile swim followed by a 48.4-mile bike ride.
We are now half way through this campaign, with about 50 days remaining. Training is challenging, but going well, and on track – what keeps us focused and committed are the families fighting for their loved ones daily and the desire to provide some relief, even if only temporarily.
How You Can Help
Spread the word. Our goal is to reach 100,000 people through social media, email, and word of mouth. Your share could be the link that makes a lasting difference.
Give if you can. Consider donating $0.20, $0.50, or $1 per mile—or any amount that feels right to you. Every gift matters. Every mile counts.
Together, we can lift a burden, restore hope, and Always Love Strong.
Thank you, FACT Relief and Charlie McDaniel
