Better late than never! We participated in our third Hustle for Hope 5K during HIE awareness month in April. Olivia was diagnosed with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy at birth. It's a type of birth injury causing newborn brain damage that is caused by oxygen deprivation and limited blood flow. Hustle for Hope was created by the group Hope For HIE to increase awareness, education, and support. It has now become an informational month for us to be able to educate others about her health. We continue to have enormous family and friend support walking, running, and rolling for Olivia. They would hashtag pictures #HopeForOlivia #HopeForHIE #HustleForHope. This year we decided to call it Hustle for Hope 5K Olivia's Way!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who is helping to make this a yearly tradition :)
