I joined the March for Babies movement because this mission is deeply personal to my family.

My son, Remy, was born on New Year’s Eve and immediately admitted to the NICU. He was diagnosed with Pierre Robin Sequence, a rare condition that affected his airway and ability to breathe and feed safely. Remy spent the first three months of his life in the hospital and underwent multiple surgeries before he was able to come home.

Those months were filled with fear, uncertainty, and countless moments of hope. The NICU team became our lifeline, providing not only lifesaving medical care but compassion and support during the hardest season of our lives.

Today, Remy is thriving. While his journey isn’t over and additional surgeries remain ahead, he is healthy, strong, and full of life — a true testament to the impact of NICU care and ongoing research.

With preterm birth and maternal health risks continuing to rise, I’m committed to raising funds so more families can receive the care, resources, and hope that carried us through. I can’t do this alone.
