David Harding is the father of three. David's oldest son, Grant, was diagnosed with leukemia when he was only two years old. When Grant was diagnosed, David had just started a new career in insurance only six months before Grant was diagnosed. After Grant was diagnosed, David spent so much time at the hospital and felt called to become a nurse. He enrolled in nursing school and pursued that calling. 

He says his experience as a parent has enabled him to better relate to his patients.

In 2018 David's second child, Berkeley, contracted ecoli and went into kidney failure. She was an inpatient at Riley Children's Hospital for almost a month. 

From going these experiences David has moved forward with another level of compassion. Having gone through two situations in which their kid's could have died. David says he has another level appreciation.

When asked how it gets through it all David Says, "I'm not that special. You just step up and get through it. That's what moms and dads do."
