Our Lowell Ambassador Family - The Fenochetti Family

Here is the Fenochettis' story, in the words of Melanie Fenochetti.

On August 10^th, 2006 while pregnant with my triplets, I went into premature labor. Colin was born first. William and Liliana were born on August 11^th.  They were just 20 weeks, too premature to survive. We canceled the three cribs that just arrived at the store, notified all of the guests for our baby shower that was planned, with invitations already out. Instead, we needed to plan the burial of our three precious babies. We were heartbroken.

As a couple who from the beginning knew they wanted a family, this was devastating.  Why us? Why our babies?  We would never know.  All we knew was that in an instant our life was torn apart and our dream of a family was taken from us.  There were no answers, we were just left to grieve.

A year later we decided to try for the family that we so desperately wanted.  Happily, in 2008 we welcomed a handsome addition to our family, Frankie.  Thirteen months later, we were blessed with Mia. Both full term.

This will be our 6^th year walking in the Lowell March for Babies as Fenochetti Triplets. We have raised over $16,000 for the March of Dimes. If through their research, the March of Dimes is able to prevent another family from experiencing the loss that we experienced, our time and efforts will be worth it.  We walk in memory of Colin, William and Liliana who will be forever in our hearts.
