"Our daughter Hazel had to be delivered when I was 23 weeks pregnant with her. She was born weighing 420 grams and she spent 6 months in neonatal intensive care. It was a long, isolating 6 months but because of CPBF I was provided with information, support, and encouragement. They helped me find my voice as our daughter’s advocate which would later prove to even more invaluable as I navigated two cancer diagnoses myself. I never knew how much I would need my voice and CPBF helped me to find it. It’s because of CPBF that I have met an incredible network of parents who have gone through their own NICU journeys. It’s why we are participating in the 5k of the Vancouver Half Marathon this June 23rd on behalf of the Canadian Premature Babies Foundation. To raise funds and bring awareness to a foundation that gives so much to parents, families and caregivers who could never have imagined what they would go through with their babies. "
