My goal is to make sure children at Children’s Hospital can be a kid while receiving medical treatment. The support the staff at Children’s Hospital provides to children and their families is amazing! Watching my 2 1/2 year old niece being healthy since birth was the norm to me until she was recently diagnosed with a seizure disorder. I watched her grow everyday into a beautiful toddler then one day she went to Children’s Hospital for 4 days experiencing seizures. The hardest thing for me during that time is I wasn’t allowed to see her while she was hospitalized but I heard stories of the amazing care she received, they really tried to make her stay as pleasant as possible from everything from home made blankets, movies, games and special toys to make her feel safe.
Over the last 3 years my niece watched me at karate school. Karate helped me gain self confidence, respect, leadership & challenge my body and mindset to face any difficult situations. I want to be the best role model for my niece! Now it is my turn to help my niece grow up with the strength to face challenges no matter how difficult they may seem.
In 5 month’s I will earn my black belt and part of my training is to organize a fundraiser of my choice. My fundraiser isn’t for me instead let’s focus on the amazing kiddos like my niece and other children who receive care at the children’s hospital. Thank you in advance for your help and donation.
