Celebrating Victory Over Illness

17 Strong grants Victory Trips® to young adults, ages 18 to 40, who have battled a life-threatening illness like cancer

Ways To Give

After fighting for life, you deserve to celebrate.

Victory Trips® are vacations or experiences designed to celebrate victory over disease with a loved one, fulfill a lifelong dream, and begin a new chapter. Since many wish-fulfillment organizations stop at the age of 18, we aim to fill the gap of young adults that are often forgotten.

Fulfilled Trips

Ryan’s Story


Our mission is personal. We’ve dealt with the heartbreak of cancer diagnosis and the unbearable journey of watching loved ones battle and lose their life to diseases like cancer. Our son Ryan Teixeira outlined our organization from his hospital bed after he was denied a trip due to his age. His legacy and the foundation he created have helped survivors celebrate beating illness.

“As we prepared for this trip, for the first time we felt an old familiar feeling — what it feels like to be a normal couple planning a beautiful vacation.”
