We founded Coming Up Rosies and began donating Smile Kits to kids in 12 Illinois hospitals.

We became Grant Thornton’s first Purple Paladin and our world changed.

We published our first book, “My Hair Went on Vacation” and have sold 3,500 copies.

My sister Caroline and I launched our Smile Files YouTube series, giving children and adults the opportunity to educate people about their differences.

We started our own Rosebud Grant program to support child life specialists and art therapists.

We raised $30,000 at our latest Miles for Smiles event.

I was on the cover of Scholastic and became a role model for kids across the country.

We continue to advocate for wig coverage locally and nationally — and you can help.

Today, we've donated 3,800+ of our Smile Kits in 52 hospitals — and we're not stopping there.
