Barbells for Brooks

As we did for the first time last year, we're asking for your help honoring the second birthday of our precious son, Brooks. Many of you know our story: we lost our son a week after he was born due to complications from surgery for conditions he was born with. Shortly after his passing, Laura began collecting and donating her milk to the Mothers’ Milk Bank of North Texas in his name. Through what was the darkest time in our lives, helping nourish other sweet babies with the milk intended for Brooks brought a small light and hope.

Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas strives to improve the health and survival of infants through breastfeeding advocacy and the safe, equitable provision of pasteurized donor human milk. They envision a future when all babies have the opportunity to receive human milk. 

Last year we were able to send the Milk bank an incredible donation in Brooks’ name and are hoping to do the same this year as well! This year, in addition to raising funds, we'd like to bring all who are interested in for a workout at the Adaptive Training Foundation. The team at ATF are graciously donating their facilities and time for an evening that will consist of a couple hours sweating, socializing and honoring Brooks. We made a promise to each other that we would take care of ourselves for him. Working out is a huge part of our lives so we feel this is the perfect event for Brooks’ birthday (he did have huge baby biceps).

Please join us in honoring Brooks’ 2nd birthday. Understand that if you sign up for the workout there is no extra standing room in the facility so you are committing to working out with us, though the workout will accommodate all skills and fitness levels. Attendance is free and we welcome your donations here, whether you would like to join us or support our effort from afar! Please, no children under 18 allowed in the facility.

Thank you all for you constant love and support to our family.
