Brooke discusses Ainsley's lifelong battle with seizures and cerebral palsy, her hemispherectomy at the age of four, and the hardships and triumphs along the way.

    This episode offers a powerful look into the lives of two remarkable families, the strength of their children, and why we decided to make them this year’s beneficiaries. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did and that it compels you to take action to support these two amazing little girls and their families.
