Bryan and I promised we would carry Chase with us always of course but also that we would stay a part of the Spina Bifida Community! It was just as much our family as he was and it is the hardest thing in the world not to fall in love with the amazing children, adults and parents. We had such a small taste of what it means to go through the ups and downs that come with your child having Spina Bifida. The worst part is that it can be a cruel wake up call to find out and so naturally you look for inspiration and this little girl Miss Ruth Zimmerman was definitely mine!
She is amazing to say the least. Every bad thing your hear and read and are told by doctors that could be wrong she seems to defy with the adorableness of any two year old. Ruth had her first surgery before she was even born (fetal surgery)(mind you while it was still in trial!), was born premature with bilateral club feet and has had an ETV (the other option to a shunt that most doctors turn their noses to and say it wont be successful) That is a hard first year not just on her but Im more than sure on her family as well! Yet she is 2 years old and walking and showing the world how great she is, something that you are kind of drilled to accept may never happen when the diagnosis comes in =) I loved to read all about her progress while pregnant with Chase, it gave me all the hope in the world that he too would be a little superhero kicking SB butt! So Ruth wants to show the world she can walk in her local upcoming Spina Bifida Walk N Roll!!! Please all my friends and family reading this donate to her team like I know you would've if it were Chase. Any amount is fine and would be greatly appreciated by Ruth and her mom Sara =)
Thank you for donating!!!!!! <3
