his Story
Meet Jaxon—also known as Sledgehammer. At just 7 years old, he’s not only defying medical odds—he’s leading a movement.
Jaxon was born with Spastic Hemiplegia, a form of cerebral palsy that causes stiffness and weakness on one side of the body, due to a stroke in utero. Doctors once said he may never walk—but God had other plans. Today, he walks, runs, plays sports, and lives life with boldness, joy, and purpose.
With a WWE-style nickname and the heart of a warrior, Jaxon has branded Sledgehammer into something bigger: Breaking Through. It’s not just a name—it’s a message. A declaration that no diagnosis, no challenge, and no age can stop what God has started.
Jaxon is a passionate part of Crossway Family Church in Vienna, Ohio, where he sings on the worship team, is active in Royal Rangers, and lives out his faith daily. He radiates the love of Jesus in everything he does—from his church, to his sports teams, to his growing leadership journey.
Elevate Leadership Network has partnered with Jaxon not only to help coach and nurture the leadership within him at a young age, but to amplify a bigger message: you’re never too young to make a difference. As we say at Elevate, “It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot.” And Jaxon is showing the world exactly what that means—using apparel as a tool to inspire, teach, and fund real change.
And the impact doesn’t stop there—Jaxon is also financially supporting his new friend and sister in Christ, Kamohelo, through World Vision. She lives in Lesotho, Africa, and together they’re showing what it means to love beyond borders and believe for a better future.
This shirt isn’t just merchandise—it’s a mission.
All proceeds go toward helping children with disabilities walk in hope, rise in faith, and believe in the impossible.
Join the movement. Be Sledgehammer Strong.
Because Jaxon is…
Built Different. Breaking Through.
