I feel fortunate to work with a company that values the importance of giving back. This fundraiser is important to me because I have seen and heard firsthand the difference the NICU can make in families lives. I hope that you will join me in making a commitment to giving hope to families of critically ill infants. Join me in supporting The Pogue Agency's 2nd Annual Tiny Hearts Challenge during NICU Awareness Month in September.

The Pogue twins, Oliver and Everett, were born four weeks early. Oliver was born with a collapsed lung and was transported to the Level III NICU at Mary Washington Hospital (MWH). At the same time, Everett was admitted to the Level II NICU at Stafford Hospital to monitor low blood sugar. The family of four went home together after ten days at two hospitals. Thanks to the support of both NICUs, Oliver and Everett are thriving. This year, the family celebrated the children's 4th birthday, which is one day before Jacob's birthday in March.
