(1/5) “Max had two mothers. We found a sperm donor and I gave birth to him through IVF. He was actually a twin. I decided to reduce the pregnancy because I was scared at the time. I didn’t think I could handle twins. And that decision will haunt me for the rest of my life. Max was such a sweet child. I was a bit of a hard ass on him. I wanted to be sure that I gave him boundaries because I never had them growing up. But I think it brought us closer together. Because he knew I’d always protect him. And he was so protective of me too. But in such a sweet way. He’d hold my face in his hands. God he was so sweet. Just such a nice guy. So funny. He loved to laugh. His bedroom was close to ours and we used to hear him in there late at night, laughing by himself.”

This is the final day of our fundraiser to help fight pediatric cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. We’ve raised over $2 million so far. Funding is scarce in pediatric cancer and largely relies on private donations. So these donations will have a giant impact. They will fund the science that saves the lives of children. So even if it’s a small amount, please consider donating: http://bit.ly/1TpFcdy
