Having three young children, we have learned nothing is worse than seeing your child in pain or unwell. We feel particularly drawn to supporting Leadership Circle to help ensure that every child has access to the best medical care available. Innovation is a key component of this, and we love being part of a group of committed donors who have come together to support promising projects that can truly change pediatrics.

This includes a recent investment into a piece of cutting-edge technology that is helping rehab patients find their footing.
