Good Morning Iowa City Moms!
For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Robin Boudreau…and I too am an Iowa City Mom. In addition to being a medical sales rep for Medtronic and a hobby photographer, I am also the founder of No Foot Too Small. My husband Ryan and I are the parents of 2 beautiful children, Bella + Ben…and one angel. It is to honor our angel Beau, that we founded No Foot Too Small last year.
As Ryan and I continue to share our journey, we are hopeful that others who have walked a similar path (or may do so in the future), find peace, strength, and encouragement. For those of you who aren’t familiar with our story of losing Beau, you can find it HERE.
As some of you may remember, last September 2014, we hosted our 1st Annual No Foot Too Small Benefit. In that inaugural year, we celebrated 15 babies that lost their lives far too soon…a majority of those babies were YOURS. Yes, ICMB families who reached out and shared their story – joining NFTS! That September evening we shared Beau’s story, held a silent auction, enjoyed live music, and came together as a special community – a community of families who’ve experienced an unimaginable loss. The loss of a pregnancy, infant, or child. At the end of the event, we’d raised over $10,000 – all of which was donated to the March of Dimes.
We are proud to announce that we are hosting our 2nd Annual No Foot Too Small Benefit on September 24th at Cedar Ridge Winery in Swisher. This year, we are doing something a little different – something very special to me. This year, we are selecting our very own No Foot Too Small Feature Family. We are honored to have chosen Blake & Stevee Tiernan from Cedar Rapids to share their story – Claire’s Story.
As I did last year, I am inviting you to join us. We welcome you! Just as I photographed Ryan holding Beau’s footprint, I would be honored to photograph other families who are also left with a mere print of their child. I will print these images on canvases, hang them at the Benefit and present them to the families at the end of the night.
Please, if you’ve endured a similar loss – if you too are left with tiny footprints, reach out to me. There is no footprint too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world. We believe that.
Thank you all for reading this very long post and we hope to see you at the event in September! If you’d like to get involved, please reach out to me: [email protected].
