Sarah Feuerborn Harbaugh Is Jim Harbaugh Wife Who Raises Awareness for Cancer

Sarah Feuerborn Harbaugh is Jim Harbaugh's wife, with whom he shares four children. When she isn't raising awareness about cancer, she takes her role as a mom seriously.

Jim Harbaugh's wife, Sarah Feuerborn Harbaugh, once did an interview where she revealed where she lives and more about her life. She confessed that she and her family initially thought relocating to California would be a challenging experience, especially for Sarah.

However, being a Kansas City native, she was used to Midwestern people and weather. Sarah is the eleventh child in her family and hated being the youngest because her friends, who were only children, would get their own clothes, attention, and more.

She also didn't have opportunities to make decisions; no one asked her what she wanted to do, and she only had to follow. Sarah spent most of her life following and has struggled in adulthood taking a leadership role, but when she became a mother, she had to learn to take charge.

However, the positive thing about her childhood was that she and her siblings had everything they needed. Sarah also revealed that her 18-month older brother was diagnosed with cancer when she was eight months old.

He eventually went into remission, with their mother taking care of him while their father worked. Sarah was still a baby, and her parents couldn't take care of her, so she lived with her parents' friends and got to experience being an only child.

Her other family spoilt, hugged and loved on her in a way her own didn't. As Sarah grew up, she learned to appreciate both families and their differences. Sadly, at ten, her adoptive father died, and loss became a frequent thing.

Sarah's brother's cancer returned, and he died at 22, leaving her devastated because they were super close. Her father and one of her brothers recently got a cancer diagnosis, too.

Although Sarah couldn't be there to help care for them in Kansas City, the rest of the family was. Now, she's an advocate for cancer awareness.

What Work Does Jim Harbaugh's Wife Do to Raise Cancer Awareness?

In her interview, Sarah revealed that because cancer had been a part of her life for so long, she's become passionate about raising awareness about the disease. Her main focus was diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), which has a zero percent survival rate.

That year, Sarah also revealed that she wanted to volunteer for hospice because she believed she had something to offer families in need. In 2016, she served as the honorary chair of the seventh Michigan Softball Academy.

The academy is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. When Jim's wife wasn't volunteering and putting other people's needs first, she ran a clothing line. However, despite her work, Sarah was also quite reserved.

When the opposition scored against their team, the camera caught Sarah's son crying, and it was turned into a GIF and went viral.

What Clothing Line Has Sarah Feuerborn Harbaugh Collaborated on & More about Her Private Life

In 2019, Sarah appeared on The M Den's Facebook page, introducing her newest clothing line with Valiant. The M Den is the official merchandise retailer of Michigan Athletics and the University of Michigan Alumni Association.

The collaboration started as a joke, with Sarah wearing Jim's old football pants to a Chicago Bears game. She expected their friends to laugh, but they and other strangers asked her where she got the pants. Sarah saw an opportunity and got the right contacts to make a clothing line possible.

Speaking about her personal life, Sarah revealed that she believes circumstances are changeable and that what one had today might not be available tomorrow. When she settled somewhere, she and her family would then discover they had to move, with her adding:

"That is why a lot of people don't know much about me."

Instead, Sarah preferred staying behind the scenes, hoping to mitigate things. One Twitter, now X, the account set up for her under another name got booted when she used it to defend her son after her then-five-year-old's crying went viral. While losing out to the opposition at a game, her son took it hard since it was his first road trip.

When the opposition scored against their team, the camera caught Sarah's son crying, and it was turned into a GIF and went viral. People ridiculed Sarah's son, said awful things, and even teased Jim. She then retaliated on the social media platform, giving back as much as she got to protect her child.

Jim Harbaugh Kids with Sarah Feuerborn Harbaugh

Jim Harbaugh's children are reportedly sons John and Jack, and daughters Addison and Katherine, whom he shares with his wife. However, Sarah's husband also has three adult children from his previous marriage.

In 2016, the football coach's wife once said that having them around is essential for ensuring their children feel normal. Sarah felt if she left to do something, their children would think it was more important to their parents than them. What is most important to Sarah is family.
