The Pillas participate to honor and remember their twin daughters, Annabelle and Alexandra, and support the NICU at Umass Memorial. Alexandra is their angel baby who passed during pregnancy as a result of Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS). Annabelle was born 6 weeks premature and received care at the Umass NICU.

In 2019, the TDD (now known as Tiny Footprints) her first race back postpartum and continues to look forward to having family and friends join her to run/walk and raise money at this annual event!
