The Secret Ripple Effect: How Supporting One Dream Can Change Everything in Your Fertility Journey

What if one small act of kindness—one unexpected 'yes'—could send a ripple of hope through an entire community?

Picture this: A high school gym is buzzing with energy. Coach Lori Martin, who’s dedicated years to mentoring students both on and off the court, suddenly finds herself in the center of a surprise. Live, on national TV, Lori is handed tickets to the NBA Finals—a dream come true for a coach who’s quietly changed so many lives. (Watch the moment unfold here.)

The answer: Everything. Because like Coach Lori, every person who dares to hope, to try, to support or be supported, is part of something bigger—a legacy of kindness, courage, and game-changing breakthroughs.

Are You Ready for Your Own “Surprise Moment”?

We all want that Lori Martin moment—the recognition, the wild celebration, the affirmation that says, “You matter. Your journey is seen.” But here’s the real secret: The ripple effect starts long before the prize.

Maybe your “NBA finals ticket” isn’t flashy. Maybe it’s a positive pregnancy test. Maybe it’s a message from a friend who says, “Thank you for sharing your story—I needed that.”

Or maybe, it’s simply knowing you’re not in this alone. Because you’re not. For every coach, parent-to-be, or quiet believer out there, there’s a whole world ready to rally when you least expect it.
