Ann Halpin with Mary Ann Halpin Photography (maryannhalpin.com)
reflects on her experience with Rebecca Grossman the Chair
of the Grossman Burn Foundation. The following are excerpts
of her reflection:
"In
the Mother's Day issue of LA Parent Magazine, I photographed
Rebecca Grossman and her two children for the cover and
an article called "Mom's Who Move Mountains. In addition
to the cover of LA Parent, the same portrait has been featured
in all the windows of Pumpkin Patch Children's Stores in
all the LA area stores. Rebecca and her husband Dr. Peter
Grossman founded The Grossman Burn Foundation. They recently
opened a burn center in Kabul, Afghanistan early this year.
The facility will help numerous burn victims waiting treatment
in the region in addition to providing quality medical treatment
for injured military personnel awaiting transport back to
the states. For more information and donations go to: www.grossmanburnfoundation.org"
