Ava’s Avengers began in 2013, as a showing of support for Ava Wright, a 4-year-old girl preparing for brain surgery to alleviate symptoms of Chiari Malformation, a condition that still has no cure.
While in Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, Ava focused more on other children’s recovery and wellbeing than her own. During her recovery, families across the country began contacting Ava’s family to help guide them through their own children’s battle with Chiari Malformation. As part of her recovery, Ava’s father introduced her to endurance sports, to help her prepare for her lifelong battle with Chiari. When Ava began racing, more and more families contacted Ava’s parents, seeking understanding of their own child’s condition, or to express inspiration found in Ava’s indomitable spirit.
Ava's Avengers seeks to stand as a symbol of hope to individuals of all ages living in need. By raising awareness through public and charitable events, Ava's Avengers seeks to decrease the socioeconomic burdens placed on families by building support networks dedicated to furthering disease education, raising hope, and increasing human resilience by reminding everyone of the hero within themselves.
