Our Story
From Pain to Purpose
​
The Brave Bold Foundation was not born in a boardroom.
​
It was born in hospital rooms.
​
It was born through uncertainty.
​
It was born through faith.
​
Founder Chrislene Terilus understands firsthand the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges that come with chronic illness. Living with Crohn's disease has brought difficult seasons—but also powerful lessons about resilience, faith, and community.
​
What began as a personal journey through illness became a calling to serve others.
​
Today, the Brave Bold Foundation exists to ensure that individuals and families facing chronic illness know they are seen, supported, and deeply loved.
​
Because even in our hardest moments, there is hope.
​
And sometimes the bravest thing we can do is keep going.
