Spring Hill Child Named "Arkansas Children's Hospital Ambassador"

Kenzie Ford, daughter of Sherri and Mark Ford of Spring Hill, has been named to represent Arkansas Children's Hospital as an "ACH Ambassador".  Ford suffers from a bone grwoth disorder called Achondroplasia which causes disproportionate dwarfism.  When she suffered a bout of paralysis from spinal cord swelling she underwent surgery at Arkansas Children's Hospital.  Says her mother Sherri Ford "I believe that through everything, God put each and every person where they needed to be, when they needed to be there!"  Kenzie is now 2  years old and her mother says "There is nothing that she can't do!"  
   Ford and Jill McIlroy of Arkansas Children's Hospital brought the program at the Hope Rotary Club Thursday May 22nd.  Joining Sherri Ford and Kenzie were Mark Ford, Kenzie's brother Charlie, and Sherri Ford's parents David and Melva Linzy.
