Labor Day Contest: Diane Stoler

We're extending our Labor Day contest another month - we want to hear your story about having a child at Sinai Hospital. Remember, the first 25 participants receive a $10 Target gift card and are eligible for the grand prize, a GPS or a gift certificate to About Faces. Here's one story from a mother who herself was born at Sinai.

"My son is now 17 and was born on Feb 25, 1993 at Sinai Hospital. When I was 9 months pregnant with him , my daughter (then 4 years old) was diagnosed with a stage 3 Wilm's tumor. She had her kidney removed on Feb. 6 and started her chemotherapy and radiation shortly after her surgery.
I slept on a chair, while being 9 months pregnant, until I had a C-section with my son Travis on Feb 25. After he was born the Stolers were on three floors of the hospital - Maternity, Pediatrics and the baby ward. It was challenging, but everyone was terrific to us. We were treated like celebrities.
We all came home together on March 1. I am happy to say my daughter Lindsay is 22 now, and cancer free, my son Travis is 17, and I have another son , Garrett, who is 14. Because of this experience I chair the Race for our Kids Family Fun Walk, benefiting Sinai Pediatric Oncology, which just completed its sixth year."

Tell Us About Your Labor Day!

Who says Labor Day is only in September?

For mothers, Labor Day is that special day when they brought a new life into the world. Now, we want to hear from them in our unique Labor Day contest.

If your child was born at Sinai Hospital, whether it was 50 years ago or last week, you have a story to share. So tell us, in any format you want (video, photos or text), what made your Sinai Labor Day special.

The first 25 participants will receive a $10 Target gift card, and two grand prizes will be awarded for Most Creative entry and Most Moving Labor story. Stories will be posted here on the LifeBridge Health blog.

LifeBridge Health employees are not eligible to win prizes, however, we welcome their submissions.

Contest rules: Entries are due by September 30. You may submit in a video, picture or text format to eleis (at) lifebridgehealth.org. Entries may be edited for content or length. LifeBridge Health assumes no responsibility for adult children who may be embarrassed by their mother's story. She gave birth to you, so you'll just need to deal with it.
