I am fundraising for Healthier Moms and Babies because my family has lived the reality of how fragile, complicated, and emotional the journey to motherhood can be. All five of my daughters have faced challenges conceiving. Our first grandchild was born through the miracle of IVF, and our second grandchild is on the way — another gift made possible through science, hope, and perseverance.

We also carry the heartbreak of losing our oldest daughter to ovarian cancer in 2011. Her absence is felt every day, and her memory inspires me to support other families who are fighting their own battles to bring healthy babies into the world.

When I hear stories of moms struggling through pregnancy, or babies fighting to stay alive, it hits me deeply. I know what it feels like to pray for a miracle. I know what it feels like to face fear, uncertainty, and loss. And I know the overwhelming gratitude of finally holding a healthy child in your arms.

That’s why I’m passionate about helping moms who need support — whether it’s navigating pregnancy, overcoming financial hardship, or keeping their babies healthy after birth. Every dollar raised helps a family who is hoping, fighting, and believing for their own miracle.

I’m doing this for my daughters. I’m doing this for my grandchildren. I’m doing this in honor of the daughter we lost. And I’m doing this for every mom and baby who deserves a healthy start.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort. Your support means the world to me!
