Helping tiny babies


Our Regional NICU serves the entire upper portion of North Alabama and some of Southern Tennessee.  The babies that it sees are tiny and fragile and clinging to life with a very tenuous thread.  The Melissa George Neonatal Fund was established six years ago to raise money for these babies and since has raised over a million dollars and bought many life saving pieces of equipment.

Since the NICU is regional, this fund benefits the entire area and has become a cause that I am very passionate about.  While I have, so far, been blessed to not have a baby in the NICU I feel for mother's and father's who have and want to do all that I can to improve their babies chances of survival.  This year I helped with the live auction for the Miracle Bash and was so blessed to be able to help in a small way.  Jason and I had a great time at the event and a record setting amount of money was raised.  I'm already looking forward to next year's Bash and a few years when Charlotte and James can swim in Swim For Melissa!
