Walk in honor of your favorite miracle to raise critical funds for our region’s tiniest patients and their families. Because of champions like you, Children’s Miracle Network can continue to provide lifesaving equipment to help children like Everly come home healthy to their families, who are forever grateful. Proceeds raised through the Highmark Walk directly benefit children like Everly.
At 24 weeks, Derek and Carlie welcomed twins Everly and Jameson. They were born weighing 2lb. 7oz. and 2lb. 4oz. Due to complications from Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, Jameson went into cardiac arrest and passed away at 2 days old. Everly remained on oxygen in the neonatal intensive care unit. She had bradycardia episodes, bowel issues, Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), and a feeding tube for the first two months of her life.
At 3 months old, Everly was strong enough to head home weighing 7lbs! Derek and Carlie say “she is a healthy 5-year-old kindergartner. She is spunky and full of sass. She is our little miracle!”
