My Story…
This Mother’s Day, I’m lacing up for my 3rd 10km race in support of the NICU—a place that will always hold a deeply personal meaning for our family.
Our journey began with 56 long days in the NICU, where our babies received the expert care, strength, and compassion that helped them grow and thrive. Those days were filled with uncertainty, but also with incredible gratitude for the teams who made it possible for us to bring our babies home.
Now, watching Bode & Mikaela take on this race for the second time as proud NICU graduates is something I don’t take for granted. They are a reminder of just how far we’ve come—and why this cause matters so much.
Every step I run is for the families currently walking that NICU journey, and for the care teams who support them through it. If you’re able to donate or share, it would mean the world to us as we give back to a place that gave us everything. 💛
