These funds go directly to the fundraiser to get webcams for each KHSC NICU isolette so parents can see their baby at all times.
Due to COVID-19, KHSC policy is that parents now get up to 9 hours of visitation in the NICU per day.
Hannah came home June 15 after 110 days in the NICU which means we rucked 110km.
Backstory:
Ms. Hannah was born on February 25, 2021 at 27 weeks weighing 1lb 12oz due to complications of HELLP syndrome.
Mom is a Nurse and I’m in the military and was deployed at the time of her arrival. Now that I am back in Kingston and as a way to help all the other NICU parents, I am going to fundraise to get those webcams.
They need $100,000 and we’re trying to get them as much as we can.

On March 29 Hannah’s Grandpa Kerr passed away. He was a big fan of this project and we asked that donations in his memory also be made here.
