Kathy, wife of Robert Whiteside II, originally planned to be a teacher but in college the newly created position of child-life specialist caught her imagination, and her heart, and she now is able to ensure that these kids have some fun times to remember from their hospital stay, not just sad or painful memories.
Uncle Bob also proudly mentions that Kathy has run in several marathons, including the Boston Marathon!
That's enough to make you put down those Girl Scout cookies....
