Meet one of our Ambassador Families
Scott and Amanda Hedin walk in March for Babies in honor of one daughter and in memory of another. Life-threatening complications caused twins Reagan and Eden to be born 3 months premature. Eden weighed one pound at birth; Reagan weighed 2 pounds, 5 ounces.
Reagan grew bigger and stronger during her 7 months in the neonatal intensive care unit. Eden faced more obstacles and passed away at 8 months of age while waiting for a lung transplant. "We miss Eden so much and wish everyday that she was here with us," said Amanda.

Today, Reagan is a 2 1/2 year-old curious, sweet and loving child. Amanda and Scott turned their grief into action by supporting March for Babies and creating Eden's Garden, an organization designed to keep Eden's legacy alive. |
