Nearly half a million babies (1 in 10) are born premature in the US each year which is higher than that of most other developed nations. This is the journeys of our first born son, Finnegan, who was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound 15 ounces at birth. Of our daugher, Korrigan, who was born a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 37 weeks. And of our second son, MacKeegan, who was also born at 37 weeks at a whopping 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Our continued adventures reminds us daily how good God is.

Baby Steps


We are very excited to be a part of the annual Baby Steps 3K Walk for the second year in a row. In previous years, we have fund-raised for March for Babies/March of Dimes, but since both of these organizations are so important to us, we've decided to alternate our fund raising efforts.

Hours after Finn was born 14 weeks early
Finn's 3 year picture...my what a different three years makes!
Baby Steps 3K Walk supports Children's of Minnesota Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and services. As you may remember, Finn, our first born, spent his first 85 days at Children's and while it was a tough time for our family, it was a comfort knowing he was in the best place for him and he was receiving the best care possible. We have no doubt that the staff and support services at Children's are the main reason Finn is such a healthy little boy today.

Children's of Minnesota has the largest neonatal program in the region and was recognized as one of the top neonatal programs in the country. The combined bed capacity for the neonatal units on the Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses is 138 beds. That is a lot of babies that need and receive excellent care.

Now we are asking for your support. Please either join our team and walk with us on Saturday, June 2 (it is a beautiful walk around the MN State Fair grounds) or give the gift of a donation so that other children just like Finn can receive the best care possible.

Please support this important cause. It's easy and secure - just click here to make your donation on our secure personal donation website. A donation of ANY size is greatly appreciated and WILL make a difference.

Your gift is priceless to patients, families and staff at Children's. Thank you for your support and maybe see you on June 2nd!
