ZACHARY TIJERINA

D O N O R P R O F I L E

Race and Shawna Ritchie are beyond thankful they still have two perfectly healthy children. However, there was a short time, just more than a year ago, when the fate of their then 3-year-old son, Rynden remained uncertain. Jan. 31, 2013, was a typical weekday at the Ritchie’s as Shawna juggled take-out dinner and children’s schedules. That’s when she noticed Rynden missing from the kitchen where she had left him about 10 minutes earlier. After a frantic search, Shawna found him floating face down in their backyard pool. Because of the care given their son by a TTUHSC physician, the Ritchies wanted to give back. Their contributions to an endowment are opening doors for pediatric brain injury research.
