While the number of micropreemies born each year as a percentage of total births is relatively small, each year over 50,000 micro-preemies are born in the United States. Even more preemies are born yearly, and these slightly older, slightly bigger preemies may face an equally difficult struggle. Being the parent of a preemie is a […]
A couple of years ago I was on a work trip in California, and while most of the country was still in the economic doldrums, I noticed quite a bit of new construction taking place. Upon closer inspection I realized that many of these buildings were going to become new hospitals. Hospital executives across the […]
Our twins, Reece and Graham, were born 15 weeks premature on Thanksgiving day 2006. Our son did not catch the breaks you need when you’re born that early and after 45 days, we had to say goodbye. Our daughter spent 119 days in the hospital before we finally brought her home. As preemie parents know, […]
There’s no denying that prematurity is an epidemic. Across the globe, the rate of preterm birth ranges from 5% to 18% of babies born too soon.

As the founder and president of Graham’s Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting parents of premature babies, it certainly got mine. I was bombarded with requests to respond to AOL CEO Tim Armstrong’s remarks about “distressed” i.e. premature […]
When our twins were born 15 weeks premature on Thanksgiving Day in 2006, I remember thinking to myself that it was going to take a “miracle” for our babies to survive and bring them home. As our journey began to unfold and I started to look at it from a much broader view, not just […]
Seven years ago today, Jennifer and I had to say good-bye to our son, Graham. He and his twin sister, Reece, had to be delivered 15 weeks premature as a result of my wife becoming pre-eclamptic. Within days of losing Graham, I knew we would create a foundation in his memory. We were still riding […]
I recently had a chance to pin down our busy President and Founder, Nick Hall, to ask him a few questions about the Circle of Hope campaign – which is a fundraiser unlike any other we’ve run before. He gave us an inside look into how this innovative campaign came to be and what Nick […]
It is tough when you’re in the NICU during times of celebration like the holidays or Mother’s or Father’s Day. Our NICU journey started on Thanksgiving day and didn’t end until the end of March. At the end of April our daughter needed emergency brain surgery. Yes, my wife was a Mom and I was […]
