VALLEY

ALEXIS

My daughter was born in 2011. She was born with a cleft palate,
deviated septum, and a heart murmur. We were informed that she
o the Flathead Valley
would need many surgeries at Seattle Children’s Hospital to correct Learn more about moving t
her birth defects. I didn't know how I would afford all those trips to

Seattle. That’s when I found out about the Whiteish Winter Classic.
They told me that they would be able to help with the travel ex-

penses. What a great gift to help ease the burden and inancial stress!
Alexis has had two major surgeries so far. The irst one ixed the gap

in her lip and ix and straighten her nose. The second one repaired
her hard and soft palate as well as install ear tubes. She is healing

very well. She will have many more surgeries until she is 21 years
old. My deepest thanks go out to Doug Betters and the Whiteish
Winter Classic.

Thank you again, Don and Alexis.
