Hi!! My name is Lindsay and with me is Keely Tibbs (my sister in law). We both have lost our sweet boys. We are walking in support of infant loss, prematurity, and birth defects.

I had my son, Beau, on March 23, 2022 at 25 weeks and 3 days. He weighed 14.8 ounces. We were at Oklahoma children's NICU for 8 months and 26 days. He suddenly passed away on December 19, 2022. He had respiratory failure, pulmonary hypertension, ROP, compartment syndrome, osteomyelitis, and many other things. We want to fundraise for all premature babies, but we know one that's pretty close to our hearts.

I had my son Aiden on June 20th, 2025. Labor was long and rough, but I would do it all again because Aiden was beautiful and perfect. The next day he was doing well and passed all his exams so we were able to be discharged. The first night home was great. Little did we know that first morning home would change our lives forever.
Aiden started having trouble breathing and we rushed him to the ER as fast as we could, when we got there they had to resuscitate him twice. Sadly he passed later that afternoon on June 22, 2025. We found out through the autopsy that he passed from a heart condition we had never heard of before, known as Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). We are wanting to spread awareness and fundraise for all babies born with heart conditions so they don’t go unrecognized or untreated.
We appreciate all of you for helping donate to our team! ??
