3rd Annual Maria Middleton Memorial Think Hope Run
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE 2026 THINK HOPE RUN A SUCCESS!
What an incredible day for the third annual Think Hope Run! Despite the cold, wind, and rain brought by the Nor’easter, our runners and walkers showed up with determination, enthusiasm, and, most importantly, hope.
This year’s Think Hope Run had a record turnout, making it our largest event yet! We are incredibly grateful to everyone who participated, volunteered, sponsored, donated, and helped make the day possible. Your support not only honors Maria’s beautiful legacy of hope and trust in God, but also helps provide financial aid to families at Regina Academy at St. John the Baptist.
We can’t wait to see you again next year, hopefully under sunny skies!
Save the Date: September 25, 2027!

We Hope You Join Us!
The Regina Academy at St. John the Baptist is honored to continue the tradition of the Maria Middleton Think Hope 5K.
Maria Middleton was a beloved member of our school community, graduating from Regina Academy in 2017. She was the daughter of our founder, Brian Middleton, and to all who knew her, a young woman of remarkable faith, courage, and joy.
In 2020, after a 20-month illness journey, Maria’s final written words in her journal were: “Think hope.” Her journal began years earlier with the words, “God is merciful.”
These words reflect the way Maria lived her life — with deep trust in God, kindness toward others, and a steady hope even in the midst of suffering. Through her witness, she continues to inspire countless people to live with greater faith, courage, and love.
Her kind heart, fierce mind, and brave spirit will continue to inspire each of us until we are reunited together in heaven. The impact of her life was her quiet ability to lead, unite, and inspire people to become better versions of themselves while fostering the love of God. Her spirit has affected the lives of many around the world and will continue to do so through her message of “Think hope.”
