Scarlett Burson named Baby of the Year quarterfinalist

Posted

Scarlett Marie Burson, daughter of Katie and Cody Burson, has made it to the quarterfinals for the Baby of the Year contest. Baby of the Year is a nationwide contest that started out with 155,520 babies between newborn and 2 years old.

Scarlett has struggled with her health since birth, struggling with seizure-like activity, failure to thrive, and a dairy allergy. She has been hospitalized eight times in her short nine-month existence.

Despite her struggles, Katie said Scarlett is the happiest and sweetest baby who can light up a room.

Scarlett is currently sitting at 9th place out of a group of 27 and her parents are asking the community to help support Scarlett by voting for free on Facebook. If she wins, the $25,000 prize will go towards Scarlett's medical bills.
