Going the distance to make magic happen.
About the Barrel Run
As we approach Claire’s 12th birthday (her 3rd in heaven), I’m reminded of the power of community, gratitude, and giving back. Surrounded then—and still—by love, we honor Claire’s memory by sharing that love with other families walking this path. Our beautiful daughter, Claire, lost to DIPG on December 29, 2022, continues to inspire us every day.
Claire’s incredible spirit and light continue to inspire us every day, and it’s in her memory that we’re excited to announce our 2nd annual fundraiser for a charity AND two families close to our hearts. 100% of the bottle sale price will be split between:
A family currently navigating the unimaginable challenges of DIPG.
A family currently navigating a devastating relapse of childhood leukemia.
The Cure Starts Now, a top pediatric brain tumor research charity built by families to support families.
These bottles aren't just about the spirit they contain—it’s about coming together as a community to provide hope, resources, and love to those who need it most.
With all my heart, thank you for helping us turn our gratitude into action.
XOXO, Rachael and the Barrel King team

2025 Highlights
The Cure Starts Now represents something truly different. For us it’s not about fighting just one cancer, but the elimination of cancer as a whole. We believe as the experts do; that in order to truly cure cancer you have to focus on those cancers that are the biggest bullies like pediatric brain cancer. Learn More
