As many of you know, in November of 2020 our warrior girl was born at just 26 weeks gestation with a birth weight of 2.05 lbs but by the end of the day weighing 1 lb. She is our miracle girl. She spent 4 long months in the NICU at Hackensack Meridian Joseph M. Sanzari Children's Hospital. There was never a doubt in their minds that they wouldn't save our baby girl. The care she received there was nothing short of phenomenal. The neonatal team of Drs and the nurses were amazing.
This is a cause that has become very near and dear to us and we would like to ask our friends and family to join us in helping to support this amazing cause and give other babies just like our Emery Dawn that same support and care they need 

I will be participating in the NICUSTRONG Walk 2022. All money raised funds innovative treatment, cutting-edge equipment, much-needed research and support for our babies and families of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Hackensack Meridian Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital.

Our family decided to support this amazing cause because the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) admits about 940 newborns each year, so the need is great for innovative treatment and care. Approximately 80 newborns weigh less than 1,500 grams (that is approximately 3lbs., 5oz!).

In 2018, NICUSTRONG was formed in support of these babies and their families. Since its inception, the walk has raised over $300,000, largely due to the tremendous support of teams like us. So far, funding has helped support life-like manikins for vital education purposes, critical research, parent programs and more!

Please consider supporting this walk with a meaningful amount – just $10, $25, or $50 – will make a significant difference! Gifts can be made to my personal page (link below) or mailed to me directly at (INSERT MAILING ADDRESS). All checks may be made out to “Hackensack University Medical Center Foundation” and "NICU STRONG" in the memo field.Please consider supporting me with a meaningful amount – $25, $50, $100 or any amount – will make a significant difference!

Thank you for your generosity and support. Together we can make a difference for these families and babies!
