Our Mission

On May 12, 2012 Austin Brashears finished what is one of the most epic stories of all time: his life story. He lived colorfully and beautifully during his 21 years and painted pictures all over the world of his kindness, generosity, and positive spirit. We have decided to begin the stage of moving forward to embark on a grand adventure to create new memories with Austin every day. It can be something as little as trying a new flavor of coffee or going underwater go-cart racing in his honor. We invite you to play with us, laugh with us, and take risks with us. We encourage you to put your Austin foot forward and begin to live with Austin and his energetic spirit as your guide.

He needs our help to finish his epic adventure.

We’ll be posting our adventures here for you to read and hopefully be inspired by, but we want to hear from you too! When you do something amazing and incredible or just a little something you know that Austin would LOVE or appreciate, throw on your Austin merch (v-neck, tank, or bracelet) and take a picture! Write up a post and email it to us at doitforaustin@gmail.com and we’ll share it with everyone!

Have a great Austin Adventure Day,

Sage, Brittany, Cole, & Shannon

Palindromic Times

     When I was little, I used to make a wish whenever it was 11:11. As I grew older, the magic of it seemed to fade when not every wish came true. But Austin loved making wishes on 11:11! It was a "palindromic time" (meaning it was the same backwards and forwards) and whenever he noticed it was a palindromic time he'd sing the "palindromic song" (Its another palindromic time today! Its another palindromic time hey hey!) over and over again until the minute was over and it wasn't a palindromic time any more. It was cute if he only sang it once or twice, but it was enough to drive you up a wall if you got the full 60 seconds :) One of his best qualities was his untainted boyishness. He had this Peter Pan-ish quality that won everyone over. I just looked up and noticed what time it was, and smiled as I hummed the palindromic song. Thanks for making me smile, love:) So here's to never growing up, to climbing trees and singing disney songs and making wishes at 11:11! 

Love & Hope, 
Tori
