About

Grady's
Story

Grady’s Decision grew from Ryan Smith and Katrina Vincent’s experience after their twins, Gianna and Graden “Grady” Vincent, were born at almost 27 weeks in July 2008. Grady died after a courageous fight, while Gianna spent 71 days in neonatal intensive care and survived after treatment in Pittsburgh. The love, prayer and practical support their family received inspired them to honor Grady by helping other families navigate premature birth and specialized pediatric care.
