*Their Story*
For 9 years, Robert and I have dreamed of becoming parents. Our journey hasn’t been easy. I have PCOS, and we’ve also faced male factor infertility. Along the way, we’ve navigated misdiagnoses, countless appointments, and emotional ups and downs. We began with medicated cycles, then went through two IUIs, one egg retrieval, and two embryo transfers, each ending in heartbreak. It was only after all of those failed attempts that a biopsy revealed I also had endometriosis. I underwent surgery to remove it, giving us renewed hope. Even so, because of my hormonal imbalance and male factor issues, IVF remains our best chance to have a child.
This 5K means more to us than words can express. It’s not just about funding a medical procedure... it’s about holding onto hope, trusting God’s timing, and believing that one day our arms will be full. Robert and I always say we can’t wait to tell our baby how loved they were by everyone before they were even here on earth and this incredible show of support will be part of that beautiful story. Every step, every prayer, and every show of support brings us closer to that dream.
-Robert and Melissa
