Project CMN

My son, Weston, spent most of the first year of his life in the Primary Children’s Hospital of Salt Lake City, Utah. He was born without a pulmonary valve, and with both a hole and extra arteries in his heart. This led to many medical problems and culminated in open heart surgery.

The Children’s Miracle Network made the harrowing experience of teetering between life and death with a newborn so incredible that I jumped at the chance to give back. In this case, “giving back” involved seven full days of shooting 50 CMN “Champions” as they visited Orlando and the nation’s capitol.

These 50 kids from all 50 states have either overcome or are still living with a major illness or injury. For one full week, these “Champions” and their family members were able to forget daily struggles and celebrate the pure joy of just being kids.
