NICU reunion – An Early Start

An Early Start

Meet Jax a funny, kind, and smart preschooler who was a micro-preemie born at 23 weeks. Now that Jax is older, the scariness of the NICU has faded, but we're still learning how to manage the lasting effects of prematurity including chronic medical issues, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. This is our story of love, hope, and survival.

Baby Steps 3K: Team Jaxson’s Journey

We’re getting ready for the upcoming Baby Steps 3K walk benefiting the Neonatal Program at Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota.

Will you join our team and walk with us? Even if you can’t (or don’t want to) fund-raise, we’d still love for you to come walk with us, meet Jax’s care team, and show your support for Jax and all the other babies that have or will someday benefit from care in the NICU.

Baby Steps 3K, Saturday, May 31, 2014 – Minnesota State Fairgrounds Grandstand

Join Team Jaxson’s Journey and walk with us.
Can’t walk? That’s ok, you can still help! We have a very special project planned in honor of Jax’s upcoming 2nd birthday! We will post details later about how you can help.

Hope to see you at the walk!

Here are some pictures from last year – we had a blast!
