As 2025 comes to a close, I just want to pause and say thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Tykes with Spikes wouldn’t be what it is without every single person who supported us, shared our story, donated, cheered us on, or simply helped our message roar a little louder this year.
Yes, it’s true, I may have briefly gone extinct from my regular “Neuro Nugget Weekly” newsletters and educational/fun posts… But the back quarter of 2025 brought a big transition for Owen and me. We moved across the country to be closer to more support and to access some of the very best providers who specialize in his condition. We’re still digging for answers, but I’m carrying so much optimism, gratitude, and hope as we continue this journey.
Because of YOU, in 2025 we were able to:
-Share Owen’s story far and wide
-Distribute educational materials and gifts to 30+ hospitals coast to coast
-Support families in advocacy to help them access care, treatment & diagnoses their child needs
-Place children's books about epilepsy on the shelves of children’s library sections in 4 states
That’s a lot of impact (no fossil fuels required)
As we enter 2026, my one and only New Year’s resolution is simple:
Keep on stomping on!
Thank you for believing in this mission, for standing beside us, and for helping Tykes with Spikes grow into something truly meaningful. So much love to you all, you're absolutely dino-mite!
