Calendar Girls Fashion Show for Itsy

Ever since Alyssa was born, we have kept in touch with Mat and Laurel Lunnen who are the co founders of the charitable foundation Itsy who supports families who have infants in the NICU in London.  Since Itsy’s was created in 2008, close to $65,000 has been raised to alleviate the costs tied to gas, groceries, hospital parking, medical equipment rentals needed by families and much more.  This year Alyssa was invited to participate in the intermission portion of Fanshawe College's fashion show.  The Calendar girls show was a collaboration between the fashion merchandising students at Fanshawe College, and Itsy.  Alyssa came out dressed in attire for the month of March with a four leaf clover and a pot of gold.  She did a fantastic job!!


Each premie had their birth weight on the back of their costume.


Story - Laurel and Mat's daughter who was born at 24 weeks.
