Help Bryant raise money

A year ago, we experienced the unimaginable—losing our three-month-old son, Frederick, suddenly and tragically. In the midst of our grief, Hannah and I were faced with decisions that, looking back, we are profoundly grateful we made.

Frederick became a heart and tissue donor through LifeSource.  His heart went to a baby girl in Missouri and tissue to at least two others. And with no baby to nurse, Hannah chose to donate her milk to the Minnesota Milk Bank for Babies. I watched her carefully label, freeze, and pack each bottle—acts of love in the midst of sorrow. In a time when she could have chosen to withdraw, she instead chose to give. I am so proud of her. 

Every time I spoke about what she was doing and about the organization, I would emphasize that we believe that milk donation has the power to save the lives of medically fragile babies in NICUs.  For premature babies, donor human milk isn't just nutrition - it's medicine that prevents necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a life-threatening gut condition.

This year, I am running the Twin Cities 10 Mile in honor of my son Frederick and for Minnesota Milk Bank for Babies (MMBFB).  MMBFB the only distributor of pasteurized donor human milk in Minnesota. MMBFB is raising money for the Community Care Fund. When families can't afford $19 per bottle, the Community Care Fund steps in with free or subsidized milk, ensuring medical needs aren't compromised by financial constraints. 

I would be grateful if you gave to MMBFB for them to provide to others with the Community Care Fund.  The link is in my bio.
