Fearless Hope

In her first week alive, we took Hazel to see her cornea surgeon for our initial consultation and to get some guidance on how to best care for a child who is visually impaired.  Dr Bowman immediately put us in touch with a family who he said really reminded him of our family -- and that's how we became friends with Chris and Dallas Fears.  The Fears have a daughter (Finley) who has a similar condition to Hazel and was born blind.  Finley has been through the process of learning about corneas, learning about glaucoma and the Fears had a lot of great and insight into how to handle everything as a parent.  Their friendship and support has been a HUGE help to Aubree, Hazel and myself.  

The Fears family is passionate about helping out others and have started Fearless Hope, an organization that is Christ-driven with the goal of providing care for children and families along with emotional support during tough seasons of life.



This Saturday, January 16th, they are hosting the inaugural Fearless Hope Resolution Run (5K and Fun Run) to raise awareness and funding.  The run is in Frisco town square, includes a t-shirt and the cost is $30.

Hazel and parents will be there, the weather is warming up, this will help you meet your New Year's running resolution....what other reasons do you need!? :)

I hope to see lots of people there!
