We're thrilled to introduce Brielle Stogner, our incredible TMC Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Champion for 2024!

Each year, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and Tucson Medical Center work together to identify a “champion” in our local community to serve as the face for children treated at TMC for Children. This year, Brielle is our ambassador and will spend her year advocating for charitable need of children’s hospitals across the U.S..

Brielle's story is one of resilience and hope. She was born in 2017 with Amniotic Band Syndrome, a condition where loose bands of tissue prevent blood from getting to the fetus’s body parts during pregnancy. ABS can lead to serious birth disorders or even death. Treatment usually includes surgery, prosthetics (artificial body parts) and rehabilitation. Brielle faced challenges with her limb development, but Brielle received life-changing care during her first year at TMC for Children, allowing her to reach important milestones.

A few years later, Brielle's strength was tested again when she contracted MISC-19 during the pandemic. This rare and serious illness required hospitalization for a week. Once again, our team at TMC for Children provided her with the treatment she needed to recover.

Today, Brielle shines brightly! She excels in school and was even recently awarded the Stars of Honor Award. ⭐️

We're so honored to have Brielle as our Champion this year. Be sure to follow her journey and learn more about how TMC for Children helps kids like her by following us on Instagram @tmcchild, on Facebook @TMCforChildren and @TMCFoundation!
