THE SHARKEY FAMILY FOUNDED TODAY IS A GOOD DAY IN 2014 IN HONOR OF THEIR DAUGHTER, CLAIRE JOSEPHINE, AND IN MEMORY OF HER IDENTICAL TWIN SISTER, MARY GLADYS. INSPIRED BY THEIR INTENSE JOURNEY AT ABINGTON HOSPITALS NICU, MARTHA AND PAUL SHARKEY FOUNDED THE ORGANIZATION TO ADDRESS THE SIGNIFICANT GAPS IN CARE THAT NICU FAMILIES EXPERIENCE.
