SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — You may not recognize them now that they’re older, but we first introduced you to Jaxon and Jeren Scheff in 2018. The two boys who were selected as the Children’s Miracle Network champions after raising thousands of dollars.
“I think it’s fun going out to do that stuff. It’s not like it’s a serious time. It’s like so it’s like we’re doing fundraisers that are fun for us too,” Jaxon said in 2018.

Over the years, we’ve kept up with the brothers. Each of the Scheff boys suffers from a combination of rare genetic conditions that affect their breathing and eyesight.
Now, Jaxon is a teenager, and he’s not letting anything slow him down.
“I am the first guide runner, cross-country and track runner in the state of South Dakota. I wrote a argumentative essay to ask the sports board or whatever, and I had them install rules to be able to have me have a guide runner,” Jaxon said.
While his health has gotten better, he is still passionate about Sanford Children’s Castle and the Children’s Miracle Network.
