Meet William: 2019 Family Advocacy Day

William is participating at 2019 Speak Now for Kids Family Advocacy Day from June 25-26 in Washington, D.C. During the event, William will share information about his health journey and the importance of children’s health care with members of Congress. Below is his story.

William had a hard start at life. From day one, the odds of survival for this twinless twin and micro preemie were low. He was born at 23 weeks weighing just 1lb 6 oz. William suffered seemingly endless bumps in the road, including bleeding in his lungs, numerous blood transfusions and surgeries, and a dangerous stomach infection called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Despite these obstacles and challenges, this miracle micro preemie persevered—he survived it all.




Meet Nova: 2018 Family Advocacy Day Champion

During the event, Nova will share information about her health journey and the importance of children’s health care with members of Congress. Below is her story.

Nova is an outgoing 8-year-old from Massachusetts who loves to read, build with Legos, play piano, and hang out with her friends.

Nova was also born with a rare craniofacial anomaly called Pfeiffer Syndrome. It affected the growth of bones in her skull, face, neck and arms, causing them to fuse before she was born.
