Right before her 1st birthday, Reed had a seizure and that seizure started the search for an answer.  Her parents, Logan and Nicole, advocated for their daughter and the diagnosis of Dravet syndrome was the devestating blow.  But this resilient and amazing family has held onto their faith and they inspire us with their love and outlook on life.

Dr. Matt Karsten shows us how to live a life full of love, faith, humility and compassion for others.

Inspiration from an ordinary man doing extraordinary work, through what he will share, is only by the grace of God.
