Mission Ambassador Story: James & Lauren's Story
[Pictured above with Gerry Cooney]


James Joseph, Kaitlyn Elizabeth, and Lauren Ashley were born fourteen weeks premature on July 19, 2006, weighing a little more than 5 lbs. combined.

The triplets were immediately admitted into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Nineteen days later on August 8, their parents, Dawn and Charles, received a call that no parent ever wants to get. Kaitlyn was struggling and things did not look promising. On that day, they held their daughter Kaitlyn for the first and last time. They prayed for Kaitlyn to watch over her brother and sister to help them win their own battles.

Today, James and Lauren are both precious and active toddlers. Together with their mom and dad, they tell their story and encourage our community to participate in March for Babies®, so that one day all babies will be born healthy.
