Our Story
River of Courage was created from our family’s journey through the NICU after our daughter, River, was born with congenital CMV and hospitalized at Rady Children's Hospital. We know the emotional and physical challenges NICU families face, and our mission is to provide support, resources, and hope to families walking through those difficult moments—because no one should go through it alone.
