I am a mother of three wonderful children, one of whom was born with Spina Bifida. I was shocked when I found out when I was 18 weeks pregnant. I cried for days. One thing that changed my outlook was the ability to talk to a mother who went threw what I was going thru and I got to see a child who had what my daughter did. I still have that memory 2 years later. I would love to let parents know that they are not alone, and neither are their kids.

Hunter, who is now four years old, was born with SB L4-S2, Hydrocephalus w/shuntX3, ACII, club feet, g-tube, tracheostomy, and more! In addition to Hunter we have 3 daughters (10, 14, & 17) and 19 year old son. He is a pro in his wheelchair and has already told us he is going to do backflips in it; in addition to playing wheelchair basketball and baseball. He is also getting pretty good at walking with his walker and braces (AFO’s & KAFO’s). Hunter is a hero to many and an incredible inspiration and we honored to have been chosen as his parents.
