4those Providing hope, healing and possibility to families who have experienced extreme prematurity

10/05/2026

🏃‍♀️🎉 1️⃣4️⃣7️⃣🎉🏃‍♀️

WE DID IT!!! Because of all of you, over the course of 147 miles, we brought hope, healing and possibility to our 4those families, and raised over $52,000 (❣️) for our programs and vision here at 4those! That means more support today, more offerings in the coming years, and more possibility as we step toward our vision of the 4those property that provides a new narrative around the outcomes of the NICU for our families.

In the NICU and in running, life never goes as planned, but I am constantly in awe of the beauty that can come from the unknown road ahead. Thank you for your generosity, your support, for coming out to cheer or following along as the miles kept going (and going and going…). The 147 is always transformative, but this year it felt like it truly became what it has been created to be—a testament to the highs and the lows of the NICU and our willingness, as a community, to show up and say that no matter what comes, we will rise to meet it, and that we are not alone.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart (and feet) for how you rally for our families, for spreading the message of Tell Me What’s Good. and for being a light in the darkness for anyone standing in that NICU valley. WE LOVE YOU!

One of the new offerings at 4those this quarter was our Speaker Session with Jacy Rabold , author of Carried: A restorative 100-day journal to find healing and hope after a complicated birth.

We shared an incredible evening of hope and healing for members in our 4those community and beyond who have experienced complex and traumatic birth stories. Through Jacy’s amazing gift of vulnerability and courage, we were able to witness a new way forward together.

Our attendees shared that they came in feeling nervous, isolated, and triggered, but left feeling seen, revitalized and connected. The entire evening felt both tender and empowering, and the shifts in the narratives around our past stories and new hopes in our futures were seismic.

What an impactful night bringing hope, healing and possibility to so many through Jacy’s story and remarkable book! We can’t wait to do it again in the future. ❤️

Tell Me What’s Good. Four words we would say every time we got bad news with Zev, which was often every day and sometimes every hour.

Through Tell Me What’s Good. we were able to see the whole picture. The grief and the glory. The ache and the joy. The lament and the victory. Side-by-side and hand-in-hand. Tell Me What’s Good. did not change our circumstances, but it changed our posture from one of fear to peace, powerlessness to surrender, devastation to hope, not hope in an outcome, but hope as the expectation that there was life, whatever it looked like, beyond this impossible moment or decision or probability, that our story did not end in today.

Tell Me What’s Good. offered the kind voice in the sea of despair. The voice that said, Come close to me and let me show you Love when all that is offered is loss. It challenged the hardest edges of ourselves to soften and grieve and receive a different promise about whatever came next through acceptance and strength.

Tell Me What’s Good. offered a future when everything else told us we would have none. It didn’t guarantee an outcome or erase the statistics, it didn’t give us answers to our troubles or our questions, but it held firm a light in the darkest valleys, and showed us a path to the mountaintop, whatever that place was going to look like for us, and reminded us that even in all that bad that threatened to steal, there would always be good, and that it was ours for the taking.

So much of the NICU journey can be found in the initial season after birth and in the hospital. It’s where your whole worldview shifts, where you face impossible decisions and insurmountable statistics, where you find yourself wholly changed as you try to stay afloat amidst the myriad emotions and experiences that can happen. We know that season, we lived that season, we held on to Tell Me What’s Good. for dear life, and now offer it to others who find themselves there.

But what about after the initial NICU season? What about the days and weeks and months that follow, when you are still sorting out doctor visits and diagnoses, and trying to find some semblance of coming down into a new sense of normalcy while still in survival mode as your nervous system tries to regulate the many triggers and reminders of all you have been through and are still going through?

This dropping back into a life that is now so unfamiliar—finding your way back to relationships that feel different now, moving toward your own identity as a parent of a medically complex child, healing from your own birth traumas or NICU experiences—can feel destabilizing or scary or overwhelming, or even relieving one day and harrowing the next. Fear and uncertainty can sometimes even take on new intensity as you try to navigate life after the NICU.

At 4those, we know that the journey of the NICU extends beyond the initial hospital stay, and through our programs, we are here to help you rediscover nurturing care and healing for yourself and your family in the middle of it all by offering a new narrative of hope, healing and possibility, not only for your child(ren), but for the parents and caregivers as well.

If you are in this season, or any season of the NICU, we are you, we are with you, and we are for you. Welcome to 4those. ❤️‍🩹

In the NICU with Zev, we were faced with impossible decisions that seemed to hold the weight of his entire future, our entire future, his life, his death, his health, his outcomes, the option to turn off his machines, the option to offer a painful and hard life, the option to believe in less, the option to trust in more. There were no answers. Only surrender, which we found through Tell Me What’s Good.

To anyone in or beyond the NICU facing an impossible choice, release yourself from needing to make the “right” decision. There is no right or wrong. This is life—it is full of twists and turns and unexpected happenings. It is full of joy and grief and happiness and sorrow and adventure and security. It is all these things, and it serves us as we pursue living out the fullness of it all.

In the unknown future ahead is where the possibility lies. It may be scary, it may be risky, it may be safe—there is no way to know except to walk through no matter what you decide—all these choices can hold all these things. Loss and joy and happiness and grief. That is the beauty of life. What I do know is that you have what you need no matter what comes, no matter what you decide, no matter where you stay or go. Let the Love that is for you flow in and through you. Let it wash over you with peace and tranquility as you surrender your hopes and dreams to the possibilities ahead that are for you in this moment and the many more that will come.

This for us was the gift of Tell Me What’s Good. It did not change our circumstances. It did not fix the problems of the day, or the ache of the season. It did not alter the statistics or the outcomes. It merely postured us in surrender to the kinder voice that cut through the darkness of our fear and uncertainty and whispered in the wind that Love was there and would be always.
