Summary
Meet Bert’s Big Adventure kids Jolene & Sky!
Mom Hayle’s beautiful optimism gives her amazing perspective. It was Sky’s diagnosis of ALPK3, that ultimately saved her sister Jolene’s life! Without it, there would have been no reason for Jolene to have ever been tested to discover her diagnosis of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and ALPK3.
To honor their journey, Hayle carries a tattoo of two hands forming an anatomical heart with butterflies, symbolizing Sky and her heart donor. For their family, butterflies represent Sky’s donor and “God’s kisses.”
Which is why our friends at Gas South are gifting them a week-long retreat at Callaway Gardens, where they’ll enjoy their very own private villa and have a chance to explore breathtaking landscapes!
In honor of Sky’s heart donor, the family will experience the Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center. This beautiful space is home to over 1,000 butterflies fluttering freely in one of the largest tropical butterfly conservatories in North America.
