200+ miles, Houston to San Antonio, finishing at City Hall

The first Iron Kids Walk followed I-10 from Houston to San Antonio, raising thousands of dollars for local youth football programs. On the third day, Andrew suffered heat exhaustion and dehydration near Seguin and was hospitalized. He crossed the finish line the very next day.

The I-10 walk set off on May 15, 2026 under the banner Miles for Mini Ballers: every mile a dream funded. The money went to equipment, travel, league support and opportunities for young players, building champions on and off the field.
