The people featured in our Campaign share what inspires them.

Reproduction is an amazing biological process, and it fascinates me that one egg and one sperm have the potential to create a complex, multicellular being like you and me. But reproduction can be fraught with challenges. One of my patients, a cancer survivor, was having trouble conceiving. Treatment helped. “After I gave birth to my daughter,” she said, “I touched her nose, I counted her toes and feet three times over, and then I pinched myself to make sure that I was not dreaming.” That patient inspired me to be a voice and an advocate for those affected by infertility.
