Boston Children’s is no stranger to Lauren Craig Salon stylist Tracey Mitton who has been with Michael and Terry for 22 years. Her daughter Ashley, who is now 20 years old, was born with CHARGE syndrome, a rare genetic disorder with physical, neurological and developmental conditions that manifest differently for each individual. After birth, Ashley was immediately cared for at Children’s where she underwent open heart surgery at 2 weeks old. Being closely monitored her whole life, many of the same doctors at Children’s still care for Ashely todayβ€”20 years later.

β€œI’m a hairstylist and every day I get thanked for what I do with a person’s hair, β€œsaid Tracey. β€œHow do you thank someone whose hands fixed your child’s heart and saved her life? I am eternally grateful for the love, care and support we received at Children’s and could not be happier to donate my time to this great cause.”
