“As more people share their stories about infertility, the stigma will begin to fade,” said Emma Thompson.
The most heartwarming aspect of Emma and Mike’s story is that they have triumphed over infertility. Their journey didn’t conclude with the arrival of Lily in January 2013; instead, it ignited their passion to raise awareness about infertility. After being selected as one of the top five finalists in Ferring Reproductive Health’s Heart to Heart contest, the Warrenton Daily News shone a spotlight on their story.
Set to Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years,” the couple’s video portrays their struggles with infertility using powerful visuals. They entered the contest not just for the scholarship, but to shed light on the often-overlooked challenges faced by many.
Dr. John Smith, their fertility specialist, expressed his pride in Emma and Mike for bravely sharing their experience. “It’s a joy to see families like the Thompsons thrive,” he remarked. “Congratulations to them on winning the Heart to Heart contest!”
Emma expressed her gratitude, saying, “I am incredibly thankful to Dr. Smith and the amazing staff for their support. We also owe a huge thanks to Ferring for organizing such a meaningful contest that advocates for those navigating infertility!”
