Every few weeks, Plymouth Macaroni Kid will introduce you to an amazing, local mom. Nothing makes us happier than supporting incredible women. I am so excited to have the opportunity to introduce you to some of the Plymouth Area's finest!

This week, I'd love to introduce you to Heather! Heather is a local mom and president of the Sydney Craven Memorial Fund, a non-profit organization helping to provide financial support to children and families in Bridgewater, East Bridgewater and West Bridgewater for activities that promote individuality, growth, and self-discovery.  Heather, her husband Shane, and Heather's crew of besties created the Sydney Craven Memorial Fund to honor Heather and Shane's daughter. They want to create a legacy, and share the sparkle that she had. Heather says "Sydney Gabrielle Craven was just amazing, spunky, and a sweet little girl. We know that her sparkle and twin bond will live on forever through every bow, sparkle, tutu, and memory that is shared."
