Shannon and Baby Alexis - Medical and Expenses
Donation protected
Hi everyone! We're doing a fundraiser/benefit for Shannon and baby Alexis. Shannon has been an active member of our running and cycling community for many years now. She's always been one of the first to reach out with kindness and generosity to others. She has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know. Even while she was pregnant and unable to run or cycle, she still showed up to share time and participate for breakfast, birthdays, or any other events to support others. Baby Alexis was born via c-section on September 26 with a heart condition and some other issues, which kept her in the NICU for four weeks. Baby Alexis finally came home this past Saturday. She's stable but working on getting stronger. Shannon has been working on recovering from the c- section, but has spent every waking moment at the hospital beside her little one for the past month. During this time, she hasn't been able to really work, and as we all know, hospitals aren't cheap. She and Alexis still have a very long road to go. There are so many doctors and home health care providers to set up. We are holding a benefit run on November 6th (stay tuned to the CoffeePosse page) and a fundraiser cycling ride on November 13th (please watch for the cycling event on the usual page(s)). This gofundme was created primarily as a central way to donate to assist with medical and every day expenses, as Shannon will not be able to work indefinitely. Every little bit helps. If you can't help monetarily, then your prayers are so appreciated. Thank you!
