Our Valentine’s Day inspired Spread the Love campaign ends tomorrow, February 17. As a reminder, self love and self care are ongoing journeys, not destinations. As you navigate life with a feeding tube, remember that you are strong, resilient and deserving of happiness. Each step you take toward caring for yourself — both physically and emotionally — is a testament to your strength. Take this guide as a reminder: you are enough, exactly as you are.

Today marks a great day in history. Today is our first-ever “Spread the Love” campaign, an initiative developed by our dedicated Chief of Marketing & Communications, Sierra Cole. Sierra has been the face behind many of our marketing efforts, and what better way to kick off the launch of this project than to open it up by spreading the love with the creative heart and mind behind it. Sierra has served voluntarily in our organization since April of last year. She has thoughtfully, carefully, confidently, and successfully captured and demonstrated the Foundation’s core values in every project and initiative she’s taken on, leading us into a new era of leadership, innovation, and inclusivity. We 🫶🏼 you, Sierra! Stay tuned at 1 pm CST / 2 pm EST for more updates dropping! 🩵❤️
