Auction Time
The Auction is happening right now! What Auction you ask? The 3rd Annual Walker and Willis Online Auction to Combat TTTS.
Here are the reasons that you should participate.
The 3rd Annual Walker and Willis Auction
1. Your bid will help this sweet boy honor his twin brother, who was lost to Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome
2.Your bid will help save babies from TTTS, which takes more babies each year than SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome)
3. Your bid shows all the generous donors how wonderful and amazing you think they are for spending time/money/thought/hard work into each donation.
I think these three reasons are more than enough, but in case you need a little extra motivation, here is a picture of some of the awesome items that have been donated.
Background
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know that my twins had Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome, which was why they were born so early. Even though they struggled, and we struggled, while they were in the NICU, we were still very lucky. Both of our babies came home.
Too many times the outcome of Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome is very different. While it is thought to be rare, TTTS takes more babies each year than SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome,) according to the TTTS Foundation. Too many people, doctors included, are unaware of this serious, deadly syndrome.
To help Fight TTTS, to save babies, and to honor a twin lost, The Walker and Willis Birthday Walk to Fight TTTS started 3 years ago. In an effort to raise even more money, awareness, and offset some of the costs associated with putting on the Walk, I started an Online Auction. This is the 3rd Annual Walker and Willis Auction to Combat TTTS.
