Hi, my name is Hilary. I am a friend of Lauren and Riley's. Lauren and I worked together in the Cardiac Care Unit at UAB. She surely disagrees, but we were destined to become great friends. You have likely seen the GoFundMe to support Lauren with finances following the unexpected loss of Riley.

This page is specifically to raise money for their son, sweet and giggly 15-month old Owen. It will be put into a mutual fund in his name, for his use when he is older. It could help him purchase his first car, a ring for his future wife, provide funds for school, or for his first home. The choice will be his!

Your love and friendship means so much to Riley's family during this time. Please continue to check in with them in the next days, weeks, and months as they mourn their recent loss.
