Marissa Hetrick was born 10 weeks early, arriving on October 28, 2003, weighing only 2 pounds and 12 ounces. She is the daughter of Chad and Maryann Hetrick, and sister of Courtney Clinger. Marissa spent the first 75 days of her life in NICU. She has been diagnosed with Smith-Magenis Syndrome (very rare) and with Cerebral Palsy, and needed heart surgery.
