Maria Middleton Think Hope 5K
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.”
