This is a wonderful event for families!!!  It raises money for the Lions Children’s Hearing Center in Minneapolis.  When we began our journey with hearing loss, Maren was almost 2 years old.  The beginning was rough.  We had more questions than answers with the providers we were seeing, and we struggled to find a pediatric audiologist in our area… so we visited the LCHC.  We had genetic testing, MRIs, booth testing, a sedated ABR, and a speech/language comprehension evaluation done.  The whole experience was amazing!  The visits there gave us confidence to know exactly where Maren’s hearing was, and what she needed.  LCHC empowered us to know what questions to ask and how to advocate for Maren’s needs.  We actually didn’t even know LCHC existed until the Lions advertised their first D-Feet Hearing Loss Walk.  I’ll never forget the first time we went to this event… we finally didn’t feel so alone and isolated.  We were amazed at how much this organization was doing for children’s hearing loss.  We made incredible connections and lasting friendships through this one event.  Please consider supporting this fundraiser.  If you live close enough, go to the event!  It’s at two locations this year.  They provide a lunch, music, activities for kids, and it’s really fun for everyone!   Our family won’t be able to make it this year, but still wanted to contribute to its success.
